-=-=-=-=-=-=-
1 [1] **standing beside the altar**—Going away from the cherub to the altar on its way out, on the golden altar which is in the Temple, and this is one of the ten travels made by the Shechinah. [from *Jonathan*]
[2] **Strike the lintel**—which is on top of the roof.
[3] **and the sideposts shall quake**—The lower doorposts of the Temple; so will the king be slain and the princes quake.
[4] **and break to pieces those who are at the head of all of them** Heb. וּבְצַעַם, like וּפְצַעַם [wound them or break them] And *Jonathan* renders כַּפְתּוֹר as the Menorah: [If the people of the house of Israel do not repent,] extinguish the Menorah; King Josiah shall be slain. And the sideposts shall quake, meaning that the Temple will be destroyed, and the Courtyards will be demolished.
[5] וּבְצַעַם בְּרֹאשׁ כֻּלָם, meaning that the vessels of the Temple will go into captivity. וּבְצַעַם means ‘their money’ shall go into exile at the head of all of them.
