SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:36
E hizo en las tablas de las molduras, y en las cintas, entalladuras de querubines, y de leones, y de palmas, delante de las añadiduras de cada una alrededor.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 36. For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof , etc.] In this, and the preceding verse, a different word is used, translated “ledges”, from that in ( 1 Kings 7:28,29), the Targum renders it axle trees; as if the axle trees of the wheels, and the borders, circumferences, and rings of them, were meant, in which were the following engravings: it literally signifies hands or handles; and Procopius Gazaeus says, that the bases had, in the upper part of them, forms of hands holding a circle like a crown: he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of everyone ; these figures were made as large as the plates of the ledges, and the borders, would allow room for: and the addition round about ; which were sloping shelves of brass around the base, ( 1 Kings 7:29) these were ornamented in like manner.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 13-47 - The two brazen pillars in the porch of the temple, some think, were to teach those that came to worship, to depend upon God only, for strengt and establishment in all their religious exercises. "Jachin," God wil fix this roving mind. It is good that the heart be established with grace. "Boaz," In him is our strength, who works in us both to will an to do. Spiritual strength and stability are found at the door of God' temple, where we must wait for the gifts of grace, in use of the mean of grace. Spiritual priests and spiritual sacrifices must be washed in the laver of Christ's blood, and of regeneration. We must wash often for we daily contract pollution. There are full means provided for ou cleansing; so that if we have our lot for ever among the unclean it will be our own fault. Let us bless God for the fountain opened by the sacrifice of Christ for sin and for uncleanness.
