EXPLANATION

Verse 3. Temple. The porch was of the same height as the temple, though we read that it was 120 cubits high, 2 Chronicles 3:4. But one word seems there to have been substituted for another, ( Calmet.) unless it might resemble a high tower. Bible.—Before the porch were placed the two brazen pillars. The interior of it was highly adorned by Herod. Josephus, Ant. xv. 11.
