Gill's Notes on the Bible

So the workmen wrought,.... The masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, and brasiers:

and the work was perfected by them; the business of repairs was completely finished:

and they set the house of God in his state; as it was at first:

and strengthened it; so that it seemed as firm and stable as when first built.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They set the house of God in his state - Some prefer, “they set up the house of God in its (old) measure” or “proportions.”
