Verse Takeaways

A Puzzle for Scholars
This verse is notoriously difficult, with scholars debating its meaning. The original Hebrew word for "arches" is uncertain, and the verse is missing from ancient Greek translations. Some commentators suggest it describes a "porch" (25 cubits long by 5 wide), while others interpret it as arches over the steps (25 cubits high by 5 wide). This highlights the challenge of interpreting ancient architectural descriptions.
