Haydock's commentary
And. In this verse occurs the first of thirty-four words where the j is allowed by the keri to be omitted in this one chapter, always when it is the sign of the plural number before a suffixed v, and of course by voluntary assimilation. But Camb. Manuscript has the j regularly in the thirty-two of these words. (Kennicott)
Steps. The ground was not quite level, which caused the buildings to rise one above another more elegantly. There were four great gates.
