The “sea” or great laver was a well-known feature in temples, being a symbol of the purity needful for those who come into the divine presence. So in the heavenly temple before the throne there is a “sea” of glass (Rev 4:6<\/span>).<\/p>\n five cubits the height thereof<\/em> ] R.V. the height thereof was five cubits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n a line of thirty cubits did compass it<\/em> ] i.e. it was thirty cubits in circumference.<\/p>\n A molten sea: of this and 2Ch 4:3-5<\/span>, &c., See Poole “1Ki 7:23<\/span>“, &c. <\/P> <\/p>\n 2. he made a molten sea<\/B>(Seeon 1Ki 7:23<\/span>), as in that passage”knops” occur instead of “oxen.” It is generallysupposed that the rows of ornamental knops were in the form of oxheads.<\/P><\/p>\n [See comments on 2Ch 3:1]<\/span>.<\/p>\n The brazen sea<\/em> described as in 1Ki 7:23-26<\/span>.

The differences in substance, such as the occurrence of and , 2Ch 4:3<\/span>, instead of and , and 3000 baths instead of 2000, are probably the result of orthographical errors in the Chronicle. in 2Ch 4:5<\/span> appears superfluous after the preceding , and Berth. considers it a gloss which has come from 1 Kings into our text by mistake. But the expression is only pleonastic: “receiving baths, 3000 it held;” and there is no sufficient reason to strike out the words. <\/p>\n (2) Even if pthth<\/em> be correct in Kings, the chronicler might have understood the word to mean openings,<\/em> rather than hinges,<\/em> and so have substituted the common word pethah,<\/em> which has that sense. The resemblance of the one word to the other would be a further consideration in its favour, according to ancient notions of interpretation.<\/p>\n Can anything be more similar, in figure and type, than this molten sea to the fountain opened in gospel-times for sin and for uncleanness? And observe the vast size of it, to denote the infinite fullness that there is in Jesus. Oh! for faith to wash and be clean in the blood of the Lamb!
