The height of the wall is variously estimated; generally at 30 (ver. 2), but by Rawlinson at 20 cubits. But the breadth is beyond dispute. It was 20 cubits. The doorway, consequently, would be five cubits wide. The effect of the preposition, "<span class="accented">from</span> a fourth," is probably this: The entrance with the side posts subtracted one-fourth from the space of the wall. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/1_kings/6-33.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">In the same way,</span><br /><span class="heb">וְכֵ֥ן</span> <span class="translit">(wə·ḵên)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunctive waw | Adverb<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3651.htm">Strong's 3651: </a> </span><span class="str2">So -- thus</span><br /><br /><span class="word">he made</span><br /><span class="heb">עָשָׂ֛ה</span> <span class="translit">(‘ā·śāh)</span><br /><span class="parse">Verb -
