[2:16]  ¹ tn Heb “and we will cut down trees from Lebanon according to all your need.”

[2:16]  ² tn Heb “to you,” but this phrase has not been translated for stylistic reasons – it is somewhat redundant.

[2:16]  ³ tn Or “on rafts.” See the note at 1 Kgs 5:9.

[4:2]  ⁴ tn Heb “He made the sea, cast.”

[4:2]  sn The large bronze basin known as “The Sea” was mounted on twelve bronze bulls and contained water for the priests to bathe themselves (see v. 6; cf. Exod 30:17-21).

[4:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “ten cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the diameter would have been 15 feet (4.5 m).

[4:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “five cubits.” Assuming a cubit of 18 inches (45 cm), the height would have been 7.5 feet (2.25 m).

[4:2]  ⁷ tn Heb “and a measuring line went around it thirty cubits all around.”
