1 Reyes 7:38 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:38

Then made he ten lavers of brass
There was but one in the tabernacle of Moses, and what became of that is not known: some Jewish writers F3 say it was placed in Solomon's temple, and these lavers, five on the right and five on the left of it; however, here were enough provided for the purpose for the priests to wash their burnt offerings in, ( 2 Chronicles 4:6 ) and were typical of the large provision made in the blood of Christ for the cleansing of his people; whose works, services, and sacrifices, as well as persons and garments, need continual washing in that blood; see ( Romans 12:1 ) ( Revelation 7:13 ) ,

one laver contained forty baths;
and a bath, according to Bishop Cumberland F4 held seven wine gallons, and two quarts and half a pint:

and every laver was four cubits:
that is, square; this was the diameter of it:

and upon every of the ten bases one laver;
for which they were made, even to set the lavers on, and were exactly of the same measure.

36 Y en las planchas de sus soportes y en sus bordes grabó querubines, leones y palmeras, conforme al espacio disponible de cada una, con guirnaldas alrededor.
37 Hizo las diez basas de esta manera: todas ellas eran de una misma fundición, de una misma medida y de una misma forma.
38 También hizo diez pilas de bronce; en cada pila cabían cuarenta batos, cada pila medía cuatro codos, y sobre cada una de las diez basas había una pila.
39 Entonces colocó las basas, cinco al lado derecho de la casa y cinco al lado izquierdo de la casa; y colocó el mar de metal fundido al lado derecho de la casa hacia el sureste.
40 Hiram hizo también los calderos , las palas y los tazones. Así terminó Hiram toda la obra que hizo para el rey Salomón en la casa del SEÑOR:
