Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
It seems impossible to determine what is meant by the "mouth" of the laver, or what by its "chapiter." |
Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
The mouth - So he calls that part in the top of the base which was left hollow, that the foot of the laver might be let into it. The chapiter - Within the little base, which he calls the chapiter, because it rose up from, and stood above the great base. Above - Above the chapiter; for the mouth went up, and grew wider like a funnel. A cubit - In height, Kg1 7:35, whereof half a cubit was above the chapiter or little base, and the other half below it. A cubit and half - In compass. Four square - So the innermost part, called the mouth, was round, but the outward part was square, as when a circle is made within a quadrangle. |
35 And in the top [07218] of the base [04350] was there a round [05696] compass [05439] of half [02677] a cubit [0520] high [06967]: and on the top [07218] of the base [04350] the ledges [03027] thereof and the borders [04526] thereof were of the same.
