THE TEN LAVERS, CANDLESTICKS, AND TABLES. (Ch2 4:6-18)
ten lavers--(See on Kg1 7:27). The laver of the tabernacle had probably been destroyed. The ten new ones were placed between the porch and the altar, and while the molten sea was for the priests to cleanse their hands and feet, these were intended for washing the sacrifices. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The ten lavers which, according to Kg1 7:38, stood upon ten brazen stands, i.e., chests provided with carriage wheels. These stands, the artistic work on which is circumstantially described in Kg1 7:27-37, are omitted in the Chronicle, because they are merely subordinate parts of the lavers. The size or capacity of the lavers is not stated, only their position on both sides of the temple porch, and the purpose for which they were designed, "to wash therein, viz., the work of the burnt-offering (the flesh of the burnt-offering which was to be burnt upon the altar) they rinsed therein," being mentioned. For details, see in Kg1 7:38. and the figure in my Archaol. i. plate iii. fig. 4. Occasion is here taken to mention in a supplementary way the use of the brazen sea. |

| He made also ten lavers - The lavers served to wash the different parts of the victims in; and the molten sea was for the use of the priests. In this they bathed, or drew water from it for their personal purification. |
27 And he made [06213] ten [06235] bases [04350] of brass [05178]; four [0702] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] of one [0259] base [04350], and four [0702] cubits [0520] the breadth [07341] thereof, and three [07969] cubits [0520] the height [06967] of it.
6 He made [06213] also ten [06235] lavers [03595], and put [05414] five [02568] on the right hand [03225], and five [02568] on the left [08040], to wash [07364] in them: such things as they offered [04639] for the burnt offering [05930] they washed [01740] in them; but the sea [03220] was for the priests [03548] to wash in [07364].
7 And he made [06213] ten [06235] candlesticks [04501] of gold [02091] according to their form [04941], and set [05414] them in the temple [01964], five [02568] on the right hand [03225], and five [02568] on the left [08040].
8 He made [06213] also ten [06235] tables [07979], and placed [03240] them in the temple [01964], five [02568] on the right side [03225], and five [02568] on the left [08040]. And he made [06213] an hundred [03967] basons [04219] of gold [02091].
9 Furthermore he made [06213] the court [02691] of the priests [03548], and the great [01419] court [05835], and doors [01817] for the court [05835], and overlaid [06823] the doors [01817] of them with brass [05178].
10 And he set [05414] the sea [03220] on the right [03233] side [03802] of the east end [06924], over against [04136] the south [05045].
11 And Huram [02361] made [06213] the pots [05518], and the shovels [03257], and the basons [04219]. And Huram [02361] [02438] finished [03615] [06213] the work [04399] that he was to make [06213] for king [04428] Solomon [08010] for the house [01004] of God [0430];
12 To wit, the two [08147] pillars [05982], and the pommels [01543], and the chapiters [03805] which were on the top [07218] of the two pillars [05982], and the two [08147] wreaths [07639] to cover [03680] the two [08147] pommels [01543] of the chapiters [03805] which were on the top [07218] of the pillars [05982];
13 And four [0702] hundred [03967] pomegranates [07416] on the two [08147] wreaths [07639]; two [08147] rows [02905] of pomegranates [07416] on each [0259] wreath [07639], to cover [03680] the two [08147] pommels [01543] of the chapiters [03805] which were upon [06440] the pillars [05982].
14 He made [06213] also bases [04350], and lavers [03595] made [06213] he upon the bases [04350];
15 One [0259] sea [03220], and twelve [08147] [06240] oxen [01241] under it.
16 The pots [05518] also, and the shovels [03257], and the fleshhooks [04207], and all their instruments [03627], did Huram [02361] his father [01] make [06213] to king [04428] Solomon [08010] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068] of bright [04838] brass [05178].
17 In the plain [03603] of Jordan [03383] did the king [04428] cast [03332] them, in the clay [05645] ground [0127] between Succoth [05523] and Zeredathah [06868].
18 Thus Solomon [08010] made [06213] all these vessels [03627] in great [03966] abundance [07230]: for the weight [04948] of the brass [05178] could not be found out [02713].
38 Then made [06213] he ten [06235] lavers [03595] of brass [05178]: one [0259] laver [03595] contained [03557] forty [0705] baths [01324]: and every [0259] laver [03595] was four [0702] cubits [0520]: and upon every one [0259] of the ten [06235] bases [04350] one [0259] laver [03595].
27 And he made [06213] ten [06235] bases [04350] of brass [05178]; four [0702] cubits [0520] was the length [0753] of one [0259] base [04350], and four [0702] cubits [0520] the breadth [07341] thereof, and three [07969] cubits [0520] the height [06967] of it.
28 And the work [04639] of the bases [04350] was on this manner: they had borders [04526], and the borders [04526] were between the ledges [07948]:
29 And on the borders [04526] that were between the ledges [07948] were lions [0738], oxen [01241], and cherubims [03742]: and upon the ledges [07948] there was a base [03653] above [04605]: and beneath the lions [0738] and oxen [01241] were certain additions [03914] made of thin [04174] work [04639].
30 And every [0259] base [04350] had four [0702] brasen [05178] wheels [0212], and plates [05633] of brass [05178]: and the four [0702] corners [06471] thereof had undersetters [03802]: under the laver [03595] were undersetters [03802] molten [03332], at the side [05676] of every [0376] addition [03914].
31 And the mouth [06310] of it within [01004] the chapiter [03805] and above [04605] was a cubit [0520]: but the mouth [06310] thereof was round [05696] after the work [04639] of the base [03653], a cubit [0520] and an half [02677]: and also upon the mouth [06310] of it were gravings [04734] with their borders [04526], foursquare [07251], not round [05696].
32 And under [08478] the borders [04526] were four [0702] wheels [0212]; and the axletrees [03027] of the wheels [0212] were joined to the base [04350]: and the height [06967] of a [0259] wheel [0212] was a cubit [0520] and half [02677] a cubit [0520].
33 And the work [04639] of the wheels [0212] was like the work [04639] of a chariot [04818] wheel [0212]: their axletrees [03027], and their naves [01354], and their felloes [02839], and their spokes [02840], were all molten [03332].
34 And there were four [0702] undersetters [03802] to the four [0702] corners [06438] of one [0259] base [04350]: and the undersetters [03802] were of the very base [04350] itself.
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.
36 For on the plates [03871] of the ledges [03027] thereof, and on the borders [04526] thereof, he graved [06605] cherubims [03742], lions [0738], and palm trees [08561], according to the proportion [04626] of every one [0376], and additions [03914] round about [05439].
37 After this manner he made [06213] the ten [06235] bases [04350]: all of them had one [0259] casting [04165], one [0259] measure [04060], and one [0259] size [07095].
38 Then made [06213] he ten [06235] lavers [03595] of brass [05178]: one [0259] laver [03595] contained [03557] forty [0705] baths [01324]: and every [0259] laver [03595] was four [0702] cubits [0520]: and upon every one [0259] of the ten [06235] bases [04350] one [0259] laver [03595].
