1 Reis 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.

37 Foi assim que fez os dez carrinhos. Foram todos fundidos nos mesmos moldes e eram idênticos no tamanho e na forma.

38 Depois ele fez dez pias de bronze, cada uma com capacidade de oitocentos litros, medindo um metro e oitenta centímetros de diâmetro; uma pia para cada um dos dez carrinhos.

39 Ele pôs cinco carrinhos no lado sul do templo e cinco no lado norte. Pôs o tanque no lado sul, no canto sudeste do templo.

40 Também fez os jarros, as pás e as bacias para aspersão.Assim, Hurão completou todo o trabalho de que fora encarregado pelo rei Salomão, no templo do SENHOR:
