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.”
