1 Kings 7:27 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:27

And he made ten bases of brass
Seats, stands, or settles for the ten lavers after mentioned:

four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth
thereof;
as broad as it was long, and so a square, that the laver might stand firm upon it:

and three cubits the height of it;
from the ground plates to the surface, that the priests might be able to reach the layers, and wash their sacrifices.

1 Kings 7:27 In-Context

25 The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center.

26 It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.

27 He also made ten movable stands of bronze; each was four cubits long, four wide and three high.

28 This is how the stands were made: They had side panels attached to uprights.

29 On the panels between the uprights were lions, bulls and cherubim—and on the uprights as well. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths of hammered work.
