a -sent ´:

(1) The rendering in the King James Version twice, the Revised Version (British and American) 14 times correctly, of Hebrew ma‛ăleh , "ascent," "pass," as a geographical term (the King James Version Numbers 34:4; 2 Samuel 15:30; the Revised Version (British and American) Joshua 10:10; Judges 8:13 , etc.).

(2) The rendering in the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) of ‛ōlāh in 1 Kings 10:5 , "his ascent by which he went up unto the house of Yahweh"; but ‛ōlāh everywhere else means "burnt-offering," and all ancient versions support the Revised Version, margin, "his burnt-offering which he offered" (caused to go up), etc.

(3) In 2 Chronicles 9:4 (parallel 1 Kings 10:5 ) a very slight textual correction (supported by Septuagint) gives us the same words as in 1 Ki instead of the difficult ‛ălı̄yāh , "upper chamber," not "ascent" as the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) render it against all usage elsewhere.

(4) In the Revised Version (British and American) Ezekiel 40:31 , Ezekiel 40:34 , Ezekiel 40:37; Nehemiah 12:37 , of a flight of steps, stairs.

(5) In the Revised Version (British and American) (Hebrew ‛ălı̄yāh ), Nehemiah 3:31 , Nehemiah 3:32 , margin "upper chamber" is to be preferred to text "ascent."
