2 Crónicas 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 2:8

Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of
Lebanon
Of the two first of these, and which Hiram sent, see ( 1 Kings 5:10 ) . The algum trees are the same with the almug trees, ( 1 Kings 10:11 1 Kings 10:12 ) by a transposition of letters; these could not be coral, as some Jewish writers think, which grows in the sea, for these were in Lebanon; nor Brazil, as Kimchi, so called from a place of this name, which at this time was not known; though there were trees of almug afterwards brought from Ophir in India, as appears from the above quoted place, as well as from Arabia; and it seems, as Beckius


FOOTNOTES:

F3 observes, to be an Arabic word, by the article "al" prefixed to it:

for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon;
better than his:

and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants;
to help and assist them in what they can, and to learn of them, see ( 1 Kings 5:6 ) .


F3 In Targum in loc.

2 Crónicas 2:8 In-Context

6 Pero ¿quién será capaz de edificarle una casa, cuando los cielos y los cielos de los cielos no pueden contenerle? ¿Quién soy yo para que le edifique una casa, aunque sólo sea para quemar incienso delante de El?
7 Ahora pues, envíame un hombre diestro para trabajar en oro, en plata, en bronce, en hierro, y en material de púrpura, carmesí y violeta, y que sepa hacer grabados, para trabajar con los expertos que tengo en Judá y en Jerusalén, los cuales mi padre David proveyó.
8 Envíame también del Líbano madera de cedro, ciprés y sándalo, porque yo sé que tus siervos saben cortar la madera del Líbano; y he aquí, mis siervos trabajarán con tus siervos,
9 para que me preparen madera en abundancia, porque la casa que voy a edificar será grande y maravillosa.
10 Y he aquí, daré a tus siervos, los trabajadores que cortan la madera, 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.
