ויבן את קירות הבית מביתה בצלעות ארזים מקרקע הבית עד קירות הספן צפה עץ מבית ויצף את קרקע הבית בצלעות ברושים
וַיִּבֶן֩ אֶת־קִירֹ֨ות הַבַּ֤יִת מִבַּ֙יְתָה֙ בְּצַלְעֹ֣ות אֲרָזִ֔ים מִקַּרְקַ֤ע הַבַּ֙יִת֙ עַד־קִירֹ֣ות הַסִּפֻּ֔ן צִפָּ֥ה עֵ֖ץ מִבָּ֑יִת וַיְצַ֛ף אֶת־קַרְקַ֥ע הַבַּ֖יִת בְּצַלְעֹ֥ות בְּרוֹשִֽׁים ׃
וַיִּבֶן אֶת־קִירוֹת הַבַּיִת מִבַּיְתָה בְּצַלְעוֹת אֲרָזִים מִקַּרְקַע הַבַּיִת עַד־קִירוֹת הַסִּפֻּן צִפָּה עֵץ מִבָּיִת וַיְצַף אֶת־קַרְקַע הַבַּיִת בְּצַלְעוֹת בְּרוֹשִֽׁים ׃
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
he built: That is, he lined or wainscoted the walls with cedar, the floor being covered with planks of fir. the marginal reading in this verse is preferable, as it removes every difficulty and obscurity.
both the floor of the house, and the walls: or, from the floor of the house, unto the walls, etc. and so 1 Kings 6:16
Reciprocal: 1 Kings 5:8 - timber of fir 2 Chronicles 3:5 - the greater Ezekiel 41:16 - ceiled with wood
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he built the walls of the house within with boards of cedar,.... For as yet he had only built the stone walls of it without, but now he wainscotted it with cedar boards: and not only them, but
both the floor of the house, and the walls of the ceiling; or from "the floor of the house unto the walls of the ceiling"; that is, from the floor, including that, to the walls on each side, reaching up to the ceiling,
he covered [them] on the inside with wood: of one sort or another, cedar or fir, or both: particularly he
covered the floor of the house with planks of fir: which Hiram sent him, 1 Kings 5:8; which is differently interpreted; by Josephus cypress; by others, as the Tigurine version, pine tree wood; it is very probable it was of the cedar kind, and not the floor only, but the ceiling also, 2 Chronicles 3:5.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The description of this verse applies to the main chamber of the temple, the holy place, only. The writer in 1 Kings 6:16 describes the holy of holies.
The marginal rendering of this verse is right, and not the rendering in the text.
Fir - Rather, “juniper.” See 1 Kings 5:6 note.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Kings 6:15. The walls of the ceiling — 1 Kings 6:9.
