Torrey, [ca. 1880]\nOverview\nCh2 4:1, The altar of brass; Ch2 4:2, The molten sea upon twelve oxen; Ch2 4:6, The ten lavers, candlesticks, and tables; Ch2 4:9, The courts, and the instruments of brass; Ch2 4:19, The instruments of gold.\nan altar: Ch2 1:5; Exo 27:1-8; Kg1 8:22, Kg1 8:64, Kg1 9:25; Kg2 16:14, Kg2 16:15; Eze 43:13-17\na molten sea: Exo 30:18-21; Kg1 7:23; Zac 13:1; Tit 3:5; Rev 7:14\nbrim to brim: Heb. his brim to his brim\nAnd under: Kg1 7:24-26; Eze 1:10, Eze 10:14; Co1 9:9, Co1 9:10; Rev 4:7\noxen: In the parallel passage of Kings, instead of bekarim, \"oxen,\" we have pekaim, \"knops,\" in the form of colocynths. (See note on Kg1 6:18, and see note on Kg2 4:39); which last is supposed by able critics to be the reading which ought to received be 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.\nIt stood: Mat 16:18; Eph 2:20; Rev 21:14\nthree: Mat 28:19, Mat 28:20; Mar 16:15; Luk 24:46, Luk 24:47; Act 9:15\nwith flowers of lilies: or, like a lily flower\nthree thousand baths: In the parallel passage, it is said to hold only two thousand baths; which some think may be reconciled by supposing that the quantity of water which was commonly in it was 2,000 baths, but that, if filled up to the top, it would hold 3,000. But, as we have already seen that the Babylonish cubit was less than that of the ancient Hebrews, it might be the same with measures of capacity; so that 2,000 of the ancient Jewish baths might have been equal to 3,000 of those used after the captivity. The Targum cuts the knot: \"It received 3,000 baths of dry measure, and held 2,000 of liquid measure.\" See note on Kg1 7:26.
