37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
37 This is the way he made the ten stands. They were all cast in the same molds and were identical in size and shape.
37 After this manner he made the ten stands. All of them were cast alike, of the same measure and the same form.
37 The washstands were identical, all cast in the same mold.
37 Thus he made the ten carts. All of them were of the same mold, one measure, and one shape.
37 All ten water carts were the same size and were made alike, for each was cast from the same mold.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Kings 7:37
Commentary on 1 Kings 7:13-47
(Read 1 Kings 7:13-47)
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 strength and establishment in all their religious exercises. "Jachin," God will 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 and to do. Spiritual strength and stability are found at the door of God's temple, where we must wait for the gifts of grace, in use of the means 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 our 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.
