before, in front of (textually problematic; likely reads 'before the inner sanctuary')
This reading in 1 Kings 6:17 is textually problematic. The Masoretic text reads something like "before me," but most scholars follow the Septuagint in reading "before the inner sanctuary" (לִפְנֵי הַדְּבִיר). The context describes the dimensions of the temple's main hall in relation to the Holy of Holies. The phrase indicates spatial positioning—the main sanctuary stood before or in front of the innermost chamber. This represents a case where the Septuagint likely preserves the original reading better than the Hebrew manuscript tradition.

1. sense 1 — First Kings 6:17 describes the temple's forty-cubit main hall positioned "before" the inner sanctuary, though the exact Hebrew reading is disputed. Modern translations typically follow the Septuagint's "before the inner sanctuary" rather than the Masoretic "before me." The verse establishes the spatial relationship between the temple's main hall and the Holy of Holies. 1×
