El diseño de las basas era éste: tenían bordes y los bordes estaban entre las molduras,
La obra de las bases era de esta manera: ten�an unos tableros, los cuales estaban entre molduras;
La obra de las basas era �sta: ten�an unas cintas, las cuales estaban entre molduras;
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
bases was on: It seems evident that these bases or pedestals rose with steps, and that the ornaments mentioned in the next verse appeared in front, forming so many entablatures. But the description of these bases is very difficult to comprehend: many of the original words are seldom, if at all, used elsewhere; and it would be impossible to give an explanation of each particular, without a labour and prolixity disproportioned to its importance to us. 1 Kings 7:28
Reciprocal: 1 Kings 7:40 - the lavers
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the work of the bases was on this manner,.... The following was the form in which they were made:
they had borders; plates of brass all around them, which enclosed them:
and the borders were between the ledges; which were short staves or bars of brass, that stood upright all around, like the staves of a cart on each side, or the rails of a balcony, only in double rows; and between these were the borders or plates of brass.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Borders - Rather, “panels” (so 1 Kings 7:32, 1 Kings 7:35), a set of square compartments between the “ledges” or borders, or mouldings. Below the panelling, with its ornamentation of lions, oxen (the two animal forms which occur most frequently in Assyrian decoration), and cherubim, was a space decorated with “additions of thin work” 1 Kings 7:29.
Upon the “ledges” 1 Kings 7:29 which surrounded the top of the base there was a stand for the laver, distinct from the upper surface of the base.
