SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:38
Hizo también diez fuentes de bronce; cada fuente contenía cuarenta batos, y cada una era de cuatro codos; y asentó una fuente sobre cada una de las diez basas.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 38. Then made he ten lavers of brass , etc.] There was but one in the tabernacle of Moses, and what became of that is not known: some Jewish writers say it was placed in Solomon’s temple, and these lavers, five on the right and five on the left of it; however, here were enough provided for the purpose for the priests to wash their burnt offerings in, ( Chronicles 4:6) and were typical of the large provision made in the blood of Christ for the cleansing of his people; whose works, services, and sacrifices, as well as persons and garments, need continual washing in that blood; (see Romans 12:1 Revelation 7:13), one laver contained forty baths ; and a bath, according to Bishop Cumberland held seven wine gallons, and two quarts and half a pint: and every laver was four cubits : that is, square; this was the diameter of it: and upon every of the ten bases one laver ; for which they were made, even to set the lavers on, and were exactly of the same measure.
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.
