1 Kings 7:26
<< 1 Kings 7:26 >>
It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths. (NASB ©1995)

1 Kings 7:25 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward.

1 Kings 7:27 Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits. (NASB ©1995)


And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths.

with flowers 1Ki 7:19 6:18,32,35

it contained This immense laver, called a {sea} from it magnitude, held, at a moderate computation, 16,000 gallons. Besides this great brazen laver, there were in the temple ten lavers of brass of a less size, which moved on wheels, and were ornamented with the figures of various animals, having, probably, always some relation to the cherubim. These lavers were to hold water for the use of the priests in their sacred office, particularly to wash the victims that were to be offered as a burnt offering, as we learn from 2ch 4:6; but the {brazen sea} was for the priest to wash in. The {knops} are supposed to have been in the form of an ox's head (2ch 4:3;) and some think the water flowed out at their mouths.
