The Key Word — נִדְבָּכִ֞ין, nid.ba.Khingenerated
The Hebrew word נִדְבָּךְ (nidbak) refers to a row or layer, particularly in the context of construction. It indicates a course of stones or similar materials, emphasizing the structured approach to building as seen in the construction of the temple.
This word appears in both Hebrew and Aramaic contexts, highlighting its use in architectural descriptions. The plural form indicates multiple layers, which is significant for the stability and aesthetic of the temple structure.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses layers and timbers consistently. The KJV also uses rows and timber, maintaining the construction theme.
Where translations differ, they do so primarily in the rendering of אֶבֶן — great (ASV, KJV) versus large (NETB, ULB) — and תְּלָתָ֔א — three (BBE, KJV) versus courses (ASV). These variations reflect different emphases on size and quantity.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb תִּתְיְהִֽב (let it be given) governs the entire verse, with multiple noun phrases detailing what is to be given and the conditions surrounding it. The structure emphasizes the layers of materials that will compose the temple.
The arrangement of the Hebrew words reflects a clear hierarchy, with the main verb at the forefront, followed by the specifics of the construction materials and their sources.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates אֶבֶן as λίθινοι, indicating a focus on the stone's quality. This choice suggests a broader interpretation of the materials' significance in the temple's construction.
The Greek word κραταιοὶ for גְּלָל emphasizes strength, aligning with the idea of durability in the temple's structure.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Ezra 6:4 describes how the temple in Jerusalem should be rebuilt with three layers of cut stones and one layer of timber. The costs for this construction are to be covered by the royal treasury, ensuring that the temple is built with quality materials and sufficient funding.

The phrase "three days and three nights," Mt 12:40, was equivalent in Hebrew to the English "three days;" the Jews employing the expression "a day and a night" to denote our "day" of twentyfour hours. Nor did "three days," 1Sa 30:13, literally "this third day," according to their usage, necessarily include the whole of three days, but a part of three days, a continuous period including one whole day of twenty-four hours, and a portion of the day preceding it and the day following it.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.
OF, preposition ov. [Gr.]
1. From or out of; proceeding from, as the cause, source, means, author or agent bestowing.
I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered to you. 1 Corinthians 11:1.
For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. Joshua 11:1.
It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed.
Lamentations 3:1.
The whole disposing thereof is of the Lord. Proverbs 16:1.
Go, inquire of the Lord for me. 2 Chronicles 34:2.
That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…

King
Is in Scripture very generally used to denote one invested with authority, whether extensive or limited. There were thirty-one kings in Canaan (Josh. 12:9, 24), whom Joshua subdued. Adonibezek subdued seventy kings (Judg. 1:7). In the New Testament the Roman emperor is spoken of as a king (1 Pet. 2:13, 17); and Herod Antipas, who was only a tetrarch, is also called a king (Matt. 14:9; Mark 6:22).
This title is applied to God (1 Tim. 1:17), and to Christ, the Son of God (1 Tim. 6:15, 16;
"a chief ruler, one invested with supreme authority over a nation, tribe or country." --Webster. In the Bible the word does not necessarily imply great power or great extent of country. Many persons are called kings whom we should rather call chiefs or leaders. The word is applied in the Bible to God as the sovereign and ruler of the universe, and to Christ the Son of God as the head and governor of the Church. The Hebrews were ruled by a king during a period of about 500 years previous to the destruction of Jerusalem, B.C. 586. The immediate occasion of the substitution of a regal form of government for that of judges seems to have been the siege of Jabesh-gilead by Nahash king of the Ammonites. (1 Samuel 11:1; 12:12) The conviction seems to have forced itself on the Israelites that they could not resist their formidable neighbor…
