2 Chronicles 3:3
_ _ 2 Chronicles 3:3-7. Measures and ornaments of the House.
_ _ these are the things wherein Solomon was instructed for the building of the house of God — by the written plan and specifications given him by his father. The measurements are reckoned by cubits, “after the first measure,” that is, the old Mosaic standard. But there is great difference of opinion about this, some making the cubit eighteen, others twenty-one inches. The temple, which embodied in more solid and durable materials the ground-form of the tabernacle (only being twice as large), was a rectangular building, seventy cubits long from east to west, and twenty cubits wide from north to south. |
2 Chronicles 3:3
Instructed — By David, and by the Spirit of God. The measure — According to he measure which was first fixed. |

am 2993-3000, bc 1011-1004 |
- Solomon:
1 Chronicles 28:11-19 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper chambers thereof, and of the inner parlours thereof, and of the place of the mercy seat, ... All [this, said David], the LORD made me understand in writing by [his] hand upon me, [even] all the works of this pattern.
|
- The length:
1 Kings 6:2-3 And the house which king Solomon built for the LORD, the length thereof [was] threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty [cubits], and the height thereof thirty cubits. ... And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits [was] the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; [and] ten cubits [was] the breadth thereof before the house.
|
- the first measure:
- It is supposed, with much probability, that the first measure means the cubit used in the time of Moses, contradistinguished from that used in Babylon, and which the Israelites used after their return from captivity. And, as these Books were written after the captivity, it was necessary for the writer to make this remark, lest it should be thought that the measurement was by the Babylonish cubit, which was a palm or one-sixth shorter than the cubit of Moses; which may serve to reconcile some variations in the historical books, with respect to numbers when applied to measures.
