The text of 2 Chronicles 3:4 may have been miscopied. Although some ancient manuscripts read “120” in this verse, other authoritative texts, such as the fifth-century Codex Alexandrinus and the sixth-century Codex Ambrosianus, read “20 cubits.” Why might a scribe have mistakenly written “120”? The words for “hundred” and “cubits” look similar in Hebrew. So a scribe may have written the word “hundred” instead of “cubits.”
