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 It rested on twelve oxen, three looking north, three looking west, three looking south and three looking east, all with their hindquarters toward the center. The Sea was set on top of them.

26 It was a handbreadth thick, its rim was made like the rim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; and its capacity was 11,000 gallons.

27 He made ten bronze trolleys, each one seven feet long, seven feet wide, and five-and-a-quarter feet high.

28 They were designed with panels that were set between the corner-posts,

29 and on the panels between the corner-posts were lions, oxen and k'ruvim. The corner-posts above were similarly designed. Below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hammered work.
