Bible Question:
Was the volume of the molten sea in Solomon's temple 2000 baths (as stated in 1 Kings 7:26) or 3000 baths (as stated in 2 Chr 4:5)? |
Bible Answer: Good Answers! Ritual Jewish cleansing had to be from a "flowing" water source. 1 Kings 7:26 describes the Laver and the volume of water it could contain. 2 Chr. 4:5 is believed to be describing the whole system and the amount of water it contained. We know the laver feed ten vessels and quite probably the laver itself was feed from a source and all of this together made up the difference. |
