2 Raja-raja 25:17

25:17 Each of the pillars was about twenty-seven feet ⁵  high. The bronze top of one pillar was about four and a half feet ⁶  high and had bronze latticework and pomegranate shaped ornaments all around it. The second pillar with its latticework was like it.

[3:19]  ¹ tn Heb “choice” or “select.”

[3:19]  ² tn Elisha places the object first and uses an imperfect verb form. The stylistic shift may signal that he is now instructing them what to do, rather than merely predicting what would happen.

[3:19]  ³ tn Heb “good.”

[3:19]  ⁴ tn Heb “and ruin every good portion with stones.”

[25:17]  ⁵ tn Heb “eighteen cubits.” The standard cubit in the OT is assumed by most authorities to be about eighteen inches (45 cm) long.

[25:17]  ⁶ tn Heb “three cubits.” The parallel passage in Jer 52:22 has “five.”
