1 Reyes 7:36 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:36

For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders
thereof
In this, and the preceding verse, a different word is used, translated "ledges", from that in ( 1 Kings 7:28 1 Kings 7:29 ) , the Targum renders it axle trees; as if the axle trees of the wheels, and the borders, circumferences, and rings of them, were meant, in which were the following engravings: it literally signifies hands or handles; and Procopius Gazaeus says, that the bases had, in the upper part of them, forms of hands holding a circle like a crown:

he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion
of everyone;
these figures were made as large as the plates of the ledges, and the borders, would allow room for:

and the addition round about;
which were sloping shelves of brass around the base, ( 1 Kings 7:29 ) these were ornamented in like manner.

1 Reyes 7:36 In-Context

34 Cada base tenía cuatro soportes unidos a ella, uno en cada esquina.
35 En la parte superior de la base había un marco redondo de veintidós centímetros. Los soportes y paneles formaban una misma pieza con la parte superior de la base.
36 Sobre las superficies de los soportes y sobre los paneles Hiram grabó querubines, leones y palmeras, con guirnaldas alrededor, según el espacio disponible.
37 De ese modo hizo las diez bases, las cuales fueron fundidas en los mismos moldes y eran idénticas en forma y tamaño.
38 Hiram hizo también diez lavamanos de bronce, uno para cada base. Cada uno de ellos medía un metro con ochenta centímetros y tenía capacidad para ochocientos ochenta litros.
