the first measure . It is supposed , with much probability , that the first measure means the cubit used in the time of Moses , contradistinguished from that used in Babylon , and which the Israelites used after their return from captivity . and , as these Books were written after the captivity , it was necessary for the writer to make this remark , lest it should be thought that the measurement was by the Babylonish cubit , which was a palm or one-sixth shorter than the cubit of Moses; which may serve to reconcile some variations in the historical books , with respect to numbers when applied to measures.

an hundred and twenty . As the height of the temple was only thirty cubits , 120 seems too great a height for the porch; but the Syriac , Arabic , and the LXX in the codex Alexandrinus , have only twenty , probably reading , instead of maiah weesrim , "one hundred and twenty ," ammoth esrim , "twenty cubits;" which brings it within the proportion of the other measures.

Parvaim . Parvaim is supposed by Calmet to be the same as Sepharvaim in Armenia or Media; Bochart is of opinion that it is Taprobanes , now the island of Ceylon , which he drives from taph , a border , and Parvan , i.e. , "the coast of Parvan;" but the late Editor of Calmet thinks it the same as the Parvatoi mountains of Ptolemy , at the head of the Indus.
