1 Kings 7:47

47 et posuit Salomon omnia vasa propter multitudinem autem nimiam non erat pondus aeris

1 Kings 7:47 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:47

And Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they
were exceeding many
The vessels of brass before mentioned, being so large, at least some of them, and so numerous; the Targum is, he laid them up, or placed them; he brought them from whence they were cast, and put them in the sanctuary without weighing them:

neither was the weight of the brass found out;
or "searched" F9; it never was inquired into; or, as the Targum, there was no end of it, it was so much.
