1 Reyes 7:24 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:24

And under the brim of it round about there were knops
compassing it
Of an oval form, and therefore the Targum calls them figures of eggs; in ( 2 Chronicles 4:3 ) they are said to have the similitude of oxen, being like the heads of oxen, and the other parts oval; or these were in the form of gourds, as sometimes the word is rendered, ( 2 Kings 4:39 ) which had on them the figures of the heads of oxen, and might serve as cocks to let out the water:

ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about it;
and as the circumference was thirty cubits, there must be three hundred of these in the circuit:

the knops were cast in two rows when it was cast;
for these were cast together with the sea, and being in two rows, there must be in all six hundred of them.

1 Reyes 7:24 In-Context

22 Y en lo alto de las columnas habĂ­a lirios tallados. AsĂ­ fue terminada la obra de las columnas.
23 Hizo asimismo el mar de metal fundido de diez codos de borde a borde, en forma circular; su altura era de cinco codos, y tenĂ­a treinta codos de circunferencia.
24 Y debajo del borde habĂ­a calabazas alrededor, diez en cada codo, rodeando por completo el mar; las calabazas estaban en dos hileras, fundidas en una sola pieza.
25 El mar descansaba sobre doce bueyes; tres mirando al norte, tres mirando al occidente, tres mirando al sur y tres mirando al oriente; el mar descansaba sobre ellos y todas sus ancas estaban hacia adentro.
26 El grueso era de un palmo, y el borde estaba hecho como el borde de un cáliz, como una flor de lirio; cabían en él dos mil batos .
