| bulls . . . under the bases--But the bulls were not "under the bases," but under the sea (Kg1 7:25, Kg1 7:27, Kg1 7:38); the ten bases were not under the sea, but under the ten lavers. In English Version, "bases," therefore, must mean the lower parts of the sea under which the bulls were. Rather, translate, "the bulls were in the place of (that is, 'by way of'; so the Hebrew, Sa1 14:9), bases," or supports to the sea [BUXTORF]. So the Septuagint. Kg2 25:16 omits the "bulls," and has "and the bases"; so GROTIUS here reads "the bulls (which were) under (the sea) and the bases." |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| twelve brasen bulls that were under - Omitted in 2 Kings and in Jer 27:19. Probably rightly, for what is said here of their being under the bases is a mistake. The bases were under the ten lavers. The Septuagint makes sense by translating it: "the twelve brasen bulls under the sea." |
16 The two [08147] pillars [05982], one [0259] sea [03220], and the bases [04350] which Solomon [08010] had made [06213] for the house [01004] of the LORD [03068]; the brass [05178] of all these vessels [03627] was without [03808] weight [04948].
9 If they say [0559] thus unto us, Tarry [01826] until we come [05060] to you; then we will stand still [05975] in our place, and will not go up [05927] unto them.
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.
25 It stood [05975] upon twelve [08147] [06240] oxen [01241], three [07969] looking [06437] toward the north [06828], and three [07969] looking [06437] toward the west [03220], and three [07969] looking [06437] toward the south [05045], and three [07969] looking [06437] toward the east [04217]: and the sea [03220] was set above [04605] upon them, and all their hinder parts [0268] were inward [01004].
19 For thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] concerning the pillars [05982], and concerning the sea [03220], and concerning the bases [04350], and concerning the residue [03499] of the vessels [03627] that remain [03498] in this city [05892],
