Of thirty and five cubits - See 1-Kings 7:15 note. Some suppose that there has been a corruption of the number in the present passage.
Also he made before the house two pillars of (g) thirty and five cubits high, and the chapiter that [was] on the top of each of them [was] five cubits.
(g) Every one was eighteen cubits long, but the half cubit could not be seen, for it was hid in the roundness of the chapiter, and therefore he gives to every one only 17 and a half.
The two brazen pillars before the house, i.e., before the porch, whose form is more accurately described in 1-Kings 7:15-22. The height of it is here given at thirty-five cubits, while, according to 1-Kings 7:15; 2-Kings 25:17; Jeremiah 52:21, it was only eighteen cubits. The number thirty-five has arisen by confounding יח = 18 with לה = 35; see on 1-Kings 7:16. הצּפת (ἁπ. λεγ.) from צפה, overlay, cover, is the hood of the pillar, i.e., the capital, called in 1-Kings 7:16. כּתרת, crown, capital, five cubits high, as in 1-Kings 7:16.
