1 Kings 7:27-43

7:27

ten .... stands ... stand <06235 04350> [ten bases.]

These highly ornamental bases appear to have been square stands, or immense pedestals, for the purpose of supporting the lavers.


7:28

stands ..... frames <04350 04526> [bases was on.]

It seems evident that these bases or pedestals rose with steps, and that the ornaments mentioned in the next verse appeared in front, forming so many entablatures. But the description of these bases is very difficult to comprehend: many of the original words are seldom, if at all, used elsewhere; and it would be impossible to give an explanation of each particular, without a labour and prolixity disproportioned to its importance to us.


7:29

lions ....... lions <0738> [lions.]

cherubs <03742> [cherubims.]

decorative <03914> [certain additions.]


7:30

wheels <0212> [wheels.]

supports ...... supports <03802> [had undersetters.]

It is probable that these undersetters were so many strong legs, somewhat shorter than the wheels, and were intended to prevent the laver from tilting, or falling, in case of any accident.
