Barnes' Notes on the Bible
As in the oracle - This passage is probably corrupt. Our translators supposing that a single letter had fallen out at the beginning of the word translated âin the oracle,â supplied âas.â But we have no reason to suppose there were any âchainsâ or âfestoonsâ in the âoracleâ or most holy place.
