SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:10
Y he aquí para los cortadores, los cortadores de la madera, tus siervos, he dado veinte mil coros de trigo en grano, y veinte mil coros de cebada, y veinte mil batos de vino, y veinte mil batos de aceite.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. Behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat , etc.] Meaning, not what was beaten out of the husk with the flail, as some; nor bruised or half broke for pottage, as others; but ground into flour, as R. Jonah interprets it; or rather, perhaps, it should be rendered “food” that is, for his household, as in ( 1 Kings 5:11), and the hire of these servants is proposed to be given in this way, because wheat was scarce with the Tyrians, and they were obliged to have it from the Jews, ( Acts 12:20) ( Ezekiel 27:17), and twenty thousand measures of barley ; the measures of both these were the cor, of which (see 1 Kings 5:11), and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil ; which measure was the tenth part of a “cor”. According to the Ethiopians, a man might consume four of these measures in the space of a month f6 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
The building of the temple. --There is a more particular account of the building of the temple in 1Ki 6. It must be in the place David had prepared, not only which he had purchased, but which he had fixed on by Divine direction. Ful instructions enable us to go about our work with certainty and to proceed therein with comfort. Blessed be God, the Scriptures are enoug to render the man of God thoroughly furnished for every good work. Le us search the Scriptures daily, beseeching the Lord to enable us to understand, believe, and obey his word, that our work and our way ma be made plain, and that all may be begun, continued, and ended in him Beholding God, in Christ, his true Temple, more glorious than that of Solomon's, may we become a spiritual house, a habitation of God throug the Spirit __________________________________________________________________
