2 Chronicles 4:3
<< 2 Chronicles 4:3 >>
Now figures like oxen were under it and all around it, ten cubits, entirely encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast in one piece. (NASB ©1995)

2 Chronicles 4:2 Also he made the cast metal sea, ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits and its circumference thirty cubits.

2 Chronicles 4:4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them and all their hindquarters turned inwards. (NASB ©1995)


And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.

And under 1Ki 7:24-26 Eze 1:10 10:14 1Co 9:9,10 Re 4:7

oxen In the parallel passage of Kings, instead of bekarim, `oxen,' we have pekaim, `knops,' in the form of colocynths. (See on 1ki 6:18, and 2ki 4:39;) which last is supposed by able critics to be the reading which ought to received here; bekarim, `oxen,' being a mistake for pekaim, `knops.' houbigant, however, contends that the words in both places are right; but that bakar does not signify an ox here, but a large kind of grape, according to its meaning in Arabic. But Dr. A. Clarke states that bakar, or bakarat, has no such meaning in Arabic, though the phrase {aino 'lbikri, or `ox-eye'} signifies a species of black grape, very large, and of incredible sweetness; that consequently the criticism of this great man is not solid; and that the likeliest method of reconciling the two places is to suppose a change in the letters as above.
