所罗门的王宫

7 所罗门为自己建造宫殿花了十三年才完成。 2 他又建造黎巴嫩林宫，长四十四公尺，宽二十二公尺，高十三公尺半。有四行香柏木的柱子，柱子上有香柏木的横梁。 3 柱子每行十五根，共四十五根；柱子上有厢房，是用香柏木盖屋顶的。 4 有窗框三行，窗与窗相对，共有三层。 5 所有的门和窗都有四方的框子，有窗三层，窗与窗相对。 6 他又建造柱廊，长二十二公尺，宽十三公尺半。在柱廊前有廊子，在廊子前又有柱子和台阶。 7 又建造王室座廊，就是审判廊，他在这里执行审判。由地板到天花板，都贴上香柏木板。 8 所罗门自己住的宫殿，是在廊后的另一个院内，建造法相同。他又为他娶法老的女儿建造一座宫院，建法与这廊子一样。

9 从根基到屋檐，从外院到大院，这一切都是用贵重的石块，按尺寸凿好，用锯子内外锯齐的石块建成的。

10 根基也都是用贵重的大石块；有长四公尺的，也有长三公尺半的。 11 上面有按着尺寸凿好的贵重石块和香柏木。 12 大院的周围有凿好的石头三层，香柏木一层，与耶和华的内院和殿廊一样。

户兰的特别任务

13 所罗门王派人去把户兰从推罗接来。 14 户兰是拿弗他利支派中一个寡妇的儿子；他父亲是推罗人，是个铜匠。户兰满有智慧、聪明和知识，能作各样铜工；他来到所罗门王那里，作王的一切工作。

铸造两根柱子(A)

15 他铸造了两根铜柱，每根高八公尺，圆周五公尺三公寸。 16 他又用铜铸造了两个柱顶，安放在柱头上，每个柱顶高两公尺两公寸。 17 他又为柱头上的柱头顶做了两块网子和辫结成的链子，每个柱顶有七块。 18 他又做了两行石榴围绕在柱头上，柱顶的网子上，两个柱顶都是这样。 19 廊子里柱头上的柱顶，刻有百合花细工，一公尺八公寸。 20 两根柱子上柱顶的鼓肚上，网子旁边，各有石榴二百个，分两行环绕着。 21 他把这两根柱子竖立在殿廊的前面。竖立在南边的柱子，他起名叫雅斤；竖立在北面的柱子，起名叫波阿斯。 22 在柱子的上头刻有百合花的细工。这样，做柱子的工作就完成了。

铸造铜海(B)

23 他又铸造了一座圆形的铜海，从这边到那边四公尺四公寸，高两公尺两公寸，圆周十三公尺两公寸。 24 在铜海边缘以下有匏瓜围绕着，每四十五公分十个。匏瓜共有两行，是铸造铜海的时候，一并铸造上去的。 25 铜海安放在十二头铜牛背上，三头向北，三头向西，三头向南，三头向东，铜海是在铜牛之上，牛尾都向内。 26 铜海厚七公分半，边缘好象杯子的边缘，又好象百合花蕾，能盛水四万公升。

铸造铜座和铜盆(C)

27 他又做了十个铜盆座；每个长一公尺八公寸，宽一公尺八公寸，高一公尺三公寸。 28 盆座的做法是这样：盆座有数边，各边都连接在盆架中。 29 在盆架间的各边上，有狮子、牛和基路伯。盆架上有座，狮子和牛的上下都有花纹的浮雕。 30 每个盆座都有四个铜轮和铜轴，在盆座以下的四脚上有铸成的支架，各边都刻有花纹。 31 盆座的口从内缘到顶，高四十五公分。盆口作圆形，照盆架上那座的样式，直径六十六公分。盆口的边上也有雕刻，盆座的边是四方形，不是圆形的。 32 盆座的四个轮子是在盆边的下面，轮座与轴相接，每个轮子高六十六公分。 33 轮子的形状，好象车轮的做法，轮轴、轮辋、轮辐、轮毂都是铸成的。 34 每一个盆座的四角都有四个支架；支架是与盆座一块铸成的。 35 盆座顶上有一个圆圈，高二十二公分；在盆座顶的座的撑子和边缘是与座一块铸成的。 36 又在撑子和边缘的上面刻有基路伯、狮子和棕树，又在各空处，周围刻上花纹。 37 他这样做了十个盆座，铸法、尺寸和样式都是相同的。 38 他又做了十个铜盆，每个铜盆能盛水八百公升；每个铜盆的直径都是一公尺八公寸。在十个盆座上，每个都安放一个铜盆。 39 他把五个盆座放在殿的南边，五个放在殿的北边，又把铜海放在殿的南边，就是靠东南角的地方。

户兰所做器皿的总表(D)

40 户兰又做了盆子、铲子和碗。这样，户兰为所罗门王完成了在耶和华的殿里所要作的一切工程。 41 所做的就是两根柱子和在柱子顶上碗形的柱顶；两块遮盖柱子顶上碗形柱顶的网子； 42 在两块网子上的四百个石榴，每块网子上有两行石榴，遮盖在柱子上头两个碗形的柱顶； 43 十个盆座和盆座上的十个铜盆； 44 一个铜海和铜海下的十二头铜牛； 45 锅、铲子和盘子。以上这一切器皿都是户兰为所罗门在耶和华的殿里用磨亮的铜做成的。 46 是王在约旦平原，在疏割与撒利但之间用泥模铸造的。 47 这一切器皿所罗门都没有称算过；由于数量太多，铜的重量也无法估计。

48 所罗门又做了耶和华殿里的一切器具，就是金坛和放陈设饼的桌子， 49 内殿前面的精金灯台，右边五行，左边五行；还有金花、金灯盏， 50 精金的碗盆、烛剪、盘子、调羹和火鼎，内殿至圣所的门框和外殿的门枢。

51 这样，所罗门为耶和华的殿所作的一切工程都完成了。所罗门把他父亲大卫分别为圣的金银和器皿，都运了来，存放在耶和华殿的库房里。

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)

所罗门的王宫

7 所罗门用了十三年的时间为自己兴建王宫。 2 他建造的黎巴嫩林宫长四十五米，宽二十二米半，高十三米半，有三行香柏木柱，柱子支撑着香柏木横梁。 3 每一行木柱有十五根，共四十五根。殿顶铺香柏木板。 4 宫殿有三排窗户，窗与窗相对； 5 宫殿的门框和窗户都是方形的，三排窗户彼此相对。

6 他又建了一座有柱子的廊子，长二十二米半，宽十三米半，前面还有带柱子的门廊和篷子。 7 此外，他又建造了一个判案的公堂。堂内从地板到天花板都铺上了香柏木。 8 所罗门的寝宫就在公堂后面的院内，建筑样式和公堂相同。所罗门又为妻子——法老的女儿造了一座类似的宫室。

9 这些宫殿，从根基到墙顶，从外院到内殿用的都是上等的石头，按规格里外用锯切割整齐。 10 根基用的是非常珍贵的石头，它们的体积巨大，有些甚至是长达三米半至四米半的巨石， 11 上面是按照规格凿好的上等石头以及香柏木。 12 大院周围的墙由三层凿好的石头和一层香柏木建成，正如耶和华殿的内院和殿廊的墙。

户兰造圣殿的器具

13 所罗门王派人从泰尔把户兰召来。 14 户兰是拿弗他利支派一个寡妇的儿子，父亲是泰尔的铜匠。户兰聪明伶俐，技术高超，擅长制造各种铜器。他前来朝见所罗门王，领命负责一切铜器工程。

15 他铸造了两根铜柱，每根高八米，周长五点四米， 16 然后用铜铸造了两个高二点二五米的柱冠，安在柱顶上。 17 每一个柱冠上装饰着七条链子织成的网， 18 网周围环绕着两行石榴。 19 门廊的柱冠高一点八米，形状像百合花。 20 在每个柱冠靠近网子鼓起来的地方围着两行石榴，共二百个。 21 这两根铜柱竖立在殿廊的入口，南边那根称为雅斤，北边那根称为波阿斯。 22 柱冠的形状像百合花。这样，铜柱就造成了。

23 他又铸造了一个圆形的铜海，高二点二五米，直径四点五米，周长十三点五米。 24 在铜海的边缘下围绕着两圈野瓜图案，每米有二十个野瓜，是跟铜海一起铸造的。 25 有十二头铜牛驮着铜海，三头向北，三头向西，三头向南，三头向东。铜海安在牛上，牛尾都向内。 26 铜海厚八厘米，边如杯边，又如百合花，容量是四万四千升。 27 户兰用铜造了十个盆座，每个长一点八米，宽一点八米，高一点三五米。 28 盆座四面装上镶板，镶板固定在框架上。 29 镶板和框架上刻着狮子、牛和基路伯天使，狮子和牛的上面和下面雕刻着花环。 30 每一个盆座都有四个铜轮和铜轴，盆放在有四个支脚铸成的盆架上，盆架周围有花环图案。 31 盆座的开口呈圆形，深四十五厘米，直径七十厘米，开口周围有雕刻。镶板是方形的，不是圆形的， 32 下面有四个七十厘米高的轮子，轮轴固定在盆座上。 33 轮子的样式像战车的轮子，轴、辋、辐、毂都是铸成的。 34 每个盆座的四角都有支脚，支脚和盆座一起铸成。 35 盆座上有一个高二十三厘米的圆架，上面的支架和镶板是和盆座一起铸成的。 36 支架和镶板都刻上基路伯天使、狮子和棕树的图案，周围有花环图案。 37 十个盆座的铸法、大小和形状相同。 38 他又用铜制造了十个盆，盆径一点八米，容量八百八十升。十个铜盆分别放在十个盆座上。 39 殿门左右各放五个盆座。铜海放在殿的东南角。

40 他又制造了其他的盆、铲和碗。他为所罗门王完成了耶和华殿的一切工作。 41 他所制造的有两根柱子，两个碗状的柱冠，两个装饰柱冠的网子， 42 四百个装饰网子的石榴，每个网子上两行石榴，装饰碗状的柱冠； 43 十个盆座及盆座上的十个铜盆； 44 铜海和铜海下面的十二头铜牛； 45 盆、铲、碗。这些都是户兰用磨亮的铜为耶和华的殿造的器具。 46 这些都是照王的命令在疏割和撒拉但之间的约旦平原用泥模铸成的。 47 所罗门没有秤过这些器具，因为太多，铜的重量无法统计。

48 所罗门又为耶和华的殿造了以下器具：金坛、放供饼的金桌； 49 至圣所前面的纯金灯台，左右各五个；灯台上的金花、灯盏和蜡剪； 50 纯金造的杯、蜡剪、碗、碟和火鼎以及至圣所和外殿入口的金门枢。

51 所罗门王完成耶和华殿的一切工作后，就把他父亲大卫献给耶和华的金银和器具都搬进耶和华殿的库房。

1 Kings 7
New English Translation

The Building of the Royal Palace

7 Solomon took thirteen years to build his palace.[a] 2 He named[b] it “The Palace of the Lebanon Forest”;[c] it was 150 feet[d] long, 75 feet[e] wide, and 45 feet[f] high. It had four rows of cedar pillars and cedar beams above the pillars. 3 The roof above the beams supported by the pillars was also made of cedar; there were forty-five beams, fifteen per row. 4 There were three rows of windows arranged in sets of three.[g] 5 All the entrances[h] were rectangular in shape[i] and they were arranged in sets of three.[j] 6 He made a colonnade[k] 75 feet[l] long and 45 feet[m] wide. There was a porch in front of this and pillars and a roof in front of the porch.[n] 7 He also made a throne room, called “The Hall of Judgment,” where he made judicial decisions.[o] It was paneled with cedar from the floor to the rafters.[p] 8 The palace where he lived was constructed in a similar way.[q] He also constructed a palace like this hall for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had married.[r] 9 All these were built with the best[s] stones, chiseled to the right size[t] and cut with a saw on all sides,[u] from the foundation to the edge of the roof[v] and from the outside to the great courtyard. 10 The foundation was made of large valuable stones, measuring either 15 feet or 12 feet.[w] 11 Above the foundation[x] the best[y] stones, chiseled to the right size,[z] were used along with cedar. 12 Around the great courtyard were three rows of chiseled stones and one row of cedar beams, like the inner courtyard of the Lord’s temple and the hall of the palace.[aa]

Solomon Commissions Hiram to Supply the Temple

13 King Solomon sent for Hiram[ab] of Tyre. 14 He was the son of a widow from the tribe of Naphtali,[ac] and his father was a craftsman in bronze from Tyre. He had the skill and knowledge[ad] to make all kinds of works of bronze. He reported to King Solomon and did all the work he was assigned.

15 He fashioned two bronze pillars; each pillar was 27 feet[ae] high and 18 feet[af] in circumference. 16 He made two bronze tops for the pillars; each was 7½ feet high.[ag] 17 The latticework on the tops of the pillars was adorned with ornamental wreaths and chains; the top of each pillar had seven groupings of ornaments.[ah] 18 When he made the pillars, there were two rows of pomegranate-shaped ornaments around the latticework covering the top of each pillar.[ai] 19 The tops of the two pillars in the porch were shaped like lilies and were six feet high.[aj] 20 On the top of each pillar, right above the bulge beside the latticework, there were 200 pomegranate-shaped ornaments arranged in rows all the way around.[ak] 21 He set up the pillars on the porch in front of the main hall. He erected one pillar on the right[al] side and called it Yakin;[am] he erected the other pillar on the left[an] side and called it Boaz.[ao] 22 The tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the construction of the pillars was completed.

23 He also made the large bronze basin called “The Sea.”[ap] It measured 15 feet[aq] from rim to rim, was circular in shape, and stood 7½ feet[ar] high. Its circumference was 45 feet.[as] 24 Under the rim all the way around it were round ornaments[at] arranged in settings 15 feet long.[au] The ornaments were in two rows and had been cast with “The Sea.”[av] 25 “The Sea”[aw] stood on top of twelve bulls. Three faced northward, three westward, three southward, and three eastward. “The Sea” was placed on top of them, and they all faced outward.[ax] 26 It was four fingers thick and its rim was like that of a cup shaped like a lily blossom. It could hold about 12,000 gallons.[ay]

27 He also made ten bronze movable stands. Each stand was 6 feet[az] long, 6 feet[ba] wide, and 4½ feet[bb] high. 28 The stands were constructed with frames between the joints. 29 On these frames and joints were ornamental lions, bulls, and cherubim. Under the lions and bulls were decorative wreaths.[bc] 30 Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles and four supports.[bd] Under the basin the supports were fashioned on each side with wreaths.[be] 31 Inside the stand was a round opening that was 18 inches deep; it had a support that was 27 inches long.[bf] On the edge of the opening were carvings in square frames.[bg] 32 The four wheels were under the frames, and the crossbars of the axles were connected to the stand. Each wheel was 27 inches[bh] high. 33 The wheels were constructed like chariot wheels; their crossbars, rims, spokes, and hubs were made of cast metal. 34 Each stand had four supports, one per side projecting out from the stand.[bi] 35 On top of each stand was a round opening three-quarters of a foot deep;[bj] there were also supports and frames on top of the stands. 36 He engraved ornamental cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the plates of the supports and frames wherever there was room,[bk] with wreaths[bl] all around. 37 He made the ten stands in this way. All of them were cast in one mold and were identical in measurements and shape.

38 He also made ten bronze basins, each of which could hold about 240 gallons.[bm] Each basin was 6 feet in diameter;[bn] there was one basin for each stand. 39 He put five basins on the south side of the temple and five on the north side. He put “The Sea” on the south side, in the southeast corner.

40 Hiram also made basins, shovels, and bowls. He[bo] finished all the work on the Lord’s temple he had been assigned by King Solomon.[bp] 41 He made[bq] the two pillars, the two bowl-shaped tops of the pillars, the latticework for the bowl-shaped tops of the two pillars, 42 the 400 pomegranate-shaped ornaments for the latticework of the two pillars (each latticework had two rows of these ornaments at the bowl-shaped top of the pillar), 43 the ten movable stands with their ten basins, 44 the big bronze basin called “The Sea” with its twelve bulls underneath,[br] 45 and the pots, shovels, and bowls. All these items King Solomon assigned Hiram to make for the Lord’s temple[bs] were made from polished bronze. 46 The king had them cast in earth foundries[bt] in the region of the Jordan between Sukkoth and Zarethan. 47 Solomon left all these items unweighed; there were so many of them they did not weigh the bronze.[bu]

48 Solomon also made all these items for the Lord’s temple: the gold altar, the gold table on which was kept the Bread of the Presence,[bv] 49 the pure gold lampstands at the entrance to the inner sanctuary (five on the right and five on the left), the gold flower-shaped ornaments, lamps, and tongs, 50 the pure gold bowls, trimming shears, basins, pans, and censers, and the gold door sockets for the inner sanctuary (the Most Holy Place) and for the doors of the main hall of the temple. 51 When King Solomon finished constructing the Lord’s temple, he[bw] put the holy items that belonged to his father David (the silver, gold, and other articles) in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple.

  2. 1 Kings 7:2 tn Heb “he built.”
  3. 1 Kings 7:2 sn The Palace of the Lebanon Forest. This name was appropriate because of the large amount of cedar, undoubtedly brought from Lebanon, used in its construction. The cedar pillars in the palace must have given it the appearance of a forest.
  4. 1 Kings 7:2 tn Heb “100 cubits.”

  6. 1 Kings 7:2 tn Heb “30 cubits.”
  7. 1 Kings 7:4 tn Heb “and framed [windows in] three rows, and opening to opening three times.” The precise meaning of this description is uncertain. Another option might be, “overhung [in] three rows.” This might mean they were positioned high on the walls.
  8. 1 Kings 7:5 tn Heb “all of the doors and doorposts.”
  9. 1 Kings 7:5 sn Rectangular in shape. That is, rather than arched.
  10. 1 Kings 7:5 tn Heb “and all the entrances and the doorposts [had] four frames, and in front of opening to opening three times” (the precise meaning of the description is uncertain).
  11. 1 Kings 7:6 tn Heb “a porch of pillars.”
  12. 1 Kings 7:6 tn Heb “50 cubits.”
  13. 1 Kings 7:6 tn Heb “30 cubits.”
  14. 1 Kings 7:6 tn Heb “and a porch was in front of them (i.e., the aforementioned pillars) and pillars and a roof in front of them (i.e., the aforementioned pillars and porch).” The precise meaning of the term translated “roof” is uncertain; it occurs only here and in Ezek 41:25-26.
  15. 1 Kings 7:7 tn Heb “and a porch for the throne, where he was making judicial decisions, the Porch of Judgment, he made.”
  16. 1 Kings 7:7 tc The Hebrew text reads, “from the floor to the floor.” The second occurrence of the term הַקַּרְקָע (haqqarqaʿ, “the floor”) is probably an error; one should emend to הַקּוֹרוֹת (haqqorot, “the rafters”). See 6:16.
  17. 1 Kings 7:8 tn Heb “and his house where he lived, the other court [i.e., as opposed to the great court], separated from the house belonging to the hall, was like this work [i.e., this style of architecture].”
  18. 1 Kings 7:8 tn Heb “and a house he was making for the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Solomon had taken, like this porch.”
  19. 1 Kings 7:9 tn Or “valuable” (see 5:17).
  20. 1 Kings 7:9 tn Heb “according to the measurement of chiseled [stone].”
  21. 1 Kings 7:9 tn Heb “inside and out.”
  22. 1 Kings 7:9 tn The precise meaning of the Hebrew word טְפָחוֹת (tefakhot) is uncertain, but it is clear that the referent stands in opposition to the foundation.
  23. 1 Kings 7:10 tn Heb “stones of 10 cubits and stones of 8 cubits” (it is unclear exactly what dimension is being measured). If both numbers refer to the length of the stones (cf. NCV, CEV, NLT), then perhaps stones of two different sizes were used in some alternating pattern.
  24. 1 Kings 7:11 tn Heb “on top,” or “above.”
  25. 1 Kings 7:11 tn Or “valuable” (see 5:17).
  26. 1 Kings 7:11 tn Heb “according to the measurement of chiseled [stone].”
  27. 1 Kings 7:12 tn Or “the porch of the temple.”
  28. 1 Kings 7:13 tn Heb “King Solomon sent and took Hiram from Tyre.” In 2 Chr 2:13 (MT v. 12) and 4:11, 16 his name is spelled “Huram.”
  29. 1 Kings 7:14 tn 2 Chr 2:14 (13 HT) says “from the daughters of Dan.”
  30. 1 Kings 7:14 tn Heb “he was filled with the skill, understanding, and knowledge.”
  31. 1 Kings 7:15 tn Heb “18 cubits.”
  32. 1 Kings 7:15 tn Heb “12 cubits.”
  33. 1 Kings 7:16 tn Heb “two capitals he made to place on the tops of the pillars, cast in bronze; 5 cubits was the height of the first capital, and 5 cubits was the height of the second capital.”
  34. 1 Kings 7:17 tn Heb “there were seven for the first capital, and seven for the second capital.”
  35. 1 Kings 7:18 tn Heb “he made the pillars, and two rows surrounding one latticework to cover the capitals which were on top of the pomegranates, and so he did for the second latticework.” The translation supplies “pomegranates” after “two rows,” and understands “pillars,” rather than “pomegranates,” to be the correct reading after “on top of.” The latter change finds support from many Hebrew mss and the ancient Greek version.
  36. 1 Kings 7:19 tn Heb “the capitals which were on the top of the pillars were the work of lilies, in the porch, 4 cubits.” It is unclear exactly what dimension is being measured.
  37. 1 Kings 7:20 tn Heb “and the capitals on the two pillars, also above, close beside the bulge which was beside the latticework, two hundred pomegranates in rows around, on the second capital.” The precise meaning of the word translated “bulge” is uncertain.
  38. 1 Kings 7:21 tn Or “south.”
  39. 1 Kings 7:21 tn The name “Yakin” appears to be a verbal form and probably means, “he establishes.”
  40. 1 Kings 7:21 tn Or “north.”
  41. 1 Kings 7:21 sn The meaning of the name Boaz is uncertain. For various proposals, see BDB 126-27 s.v. בעז. One attractive option is to revocalize the name as בְּעֹז (beʿoz, “in strength”) and to understand it as completing the verbal form on the first pillar. Taking the words together and reading from right to left, one can translate the sentence, “he establishes [it] in strength.”
  42. 1 Kings 7:23 tn Heb “He made the sea, cast.”sn This large basin was mounted on twelve bronze bulls and contained water for the priests to bathe themselves (2 Chr 4:6; cf. Exod 30:17-21).
  43. 1 Kings 7:23 tn Heb “10 cubits.”
  44. 1 Kings 7:23 tn Heb “5 cubits.”
  45. 1 Kings 7:23 tn Heb “and a measuring line went around it 30 cubits all around.” The measurements are an approximation. The LXX has the number 33. Neither fit a strict calculation of the diameter time pi, but the precise details of measuring (e.g. the width of the lip or other factors) are not known and numbers may be rounded.
  46. 1 Kings 7:24 tn Or “gourd-shaped ornaments.”
  47. 1 Kings 7:24 tn Heb “10 cubits surrounding the sea all around.” The precise meaning of this description is uncertain.
  48. 1 Kings 7:24 tn Heb “the gourd-shaped ornaments were in two rows, cast in its casting.”
  49. 1 Kings 7:25 tn Heb “It.” The proper noun “The Sea” has been supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
  50. 1 Kings 7:25 tn Heb “all their hindquarters were toward the inside.”
  51. 1 Kings 7:26 tn Heb “2,000 baths” (a bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons).
  52. 1 Kings 7:27 tn Heb “4 cubits.”
  53. 1 Kings 7:27 tn Heb “4 cubits.”
  54. 1 Kings 7:27 tn Heb “3 cubits.”
  55. 1 Kings 7:29 tn The precise meaning of these final words is uncertain. A possible literal translation would be, “wreaths, the work of descent.”
  56. 1 Kings 7:30 tn Heb “and four its feet, supports to them.”
  57. 1 Kings 7:30 tn The precise meaning of this last word, translated “wreaths,” is uncertain.
  58. 1 Kings 7:31 tn Heb “And its opening from the inside to the top and upwards [was] a cubit, and its opening was round, the work of a stand, a cubit-and-a-half.” The precise meaning of this description is uncertain.
  59. 1 Kings 7:31 tn Heb “also over its opening were carvings and their frames [were] squared, not round.”
  60. 1 Kings 7:32 tn Heb “a cubit-and-a-half” (a cubit was a unit of measure roughly equivalent to 18 inches or 45 cm).
  61. 1 Kings 7:34 tn Heb “four shoulders to the four sides of each stand, from the stand its shoulders.” The precise meaning of the description is uncertain.
  62. 1 Kings 7:35 tn Heb “and on top of the stand, a half cubit [in] height, round all around” (the meaning of this description is uncertain).
  63. 1 Kings 7:36 tn Heb “according to the space of each.”
  64. 1 Kings 7:36 tn The precise meaning of this last word, translated “wreaths,” is uncertain.
  65. 1 Kings 7:38 tn Heb “forty baths” (a bath was a liquid measure roughly equivalent to six gallons).
  66. 1 Kings 7:38 tn Heb “4 cubits, each basin.” It is unclear which dimension is being measured.
  67. 1 Kings 7:40 tn Heb “Hiram.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
  68. 1 Kings 7:40 tn Heb “Hiram finished doing all the work which he did for King Solomon [on] the house of the Lord.”
  69. 1 Kings 7:41 tn The words “he made” are added for stylistic reasons.
  70. 1 Kings 7:44 tn Heb “underneath ‘The Sea.’”
  71. 1 Kings 7:45 tn Heb “which Hiram made for King Solomon [for] the house of the Lord.”
  72. 1 Kings 7:46 tn Or perhaps, “molds.”
  73. 1 Kings 7:47 tn Heb “Solomon left all the items, due to their very great abundance; the weight of the bronze was not sought.”
  74. 1 Kings 7:48 tn Heb “the bread of the face [or presence].” Many recent English versions employ “the bread of the Presence,” although this does not convey much to the modern reader.sn This bread was viewed as a perpetual offering to God and was regarded as holy. See Lev 24:5-9.
  75. 1 Kings 7:51 tn Heb “Solomon.” The proper name has been replaced by the pronoun (“he”) in the translation for stylistic reasons.
