     * it contained.
       This immense laver, called a sea from it magnitude, held, at a
       moderate computation, 16,000; gallons.  Besides this great
       brazen laver, there were in the temple ten lavers of brass of
       a less size, which moved on wheels, and were ornamented with
       the figures of various animals, having, probably, always some
       relation to the cherubim.  These lavers were to hold water for
       the use of the priests in their sacred office, particularly to
       wash the victims that were to be offered as a burnt offering,
       as we learn from 2; Ch 4:6; but the brazen sea was for the
       priests to wash in.  The knops are supposed to have been in
       the form of an ox's head, (2; Ch 4:3;) and some think the water
       flowed out at their mouths.

     * two thousand.
