Bible Note: You are only looking at the finish product and you are not even thinking about the process of getting there. There were many measurements that needed to be known and taken before this swimming pool size bowl was even started! From a design standpoint, which is really what would have been Solomon’s concern and reason to know, and what would be reasonable to think God would have revealed to him, the circumference measurement would have been AROUND the core, which would be the inside of the bowl, not the outside. I know you know your arithmetic, but do you really have any idea how something like this large bowl would have been cast? Would you know where to start? If you did, you would know that the circumference of the core would be something handy to know and that the diameter from brim to brim would be something handy to know and you would have indeed been blessed if God had given you both! The bowl was probably constructed upside down. Straw or some other filler would first have been heaped up to a size somewhat smaller than the inside dimensions of the bowl. Next, the straw would have been covered with clay to a size somewhat larger than the inside dimensions of the bowl. Next, the clay would have been trimmed, honed, and sanded down to the exact size as God specified. This is where the 540 inch core circumference would have came into play. Next, the clay would have been hardened and cured with heat. Next, wax, paraffin, or some another material that would melt would have been put on the outside of the clay core to a size somewhat larger than the outside dimensions of the bowl. Next, the wax would have then been trimmed, honed, and sanded down to the exact size as God specified. This is where the 172 inch brim to brim measurement would have came into play. Next, the wax would have been covered with clay. Next, this layer of clay would have hardened and cured. Next, holes at the top would have been added thru the outer clay and into the wax cavity for molten brass to be poured into. Next, holes would have then been added at the bottom for the wax to escape. Next, molten brass would have then poured into the wax cavity which would cause the wax to melt and be replaced with brass as the melting wax escaped thru the relief holes. After the brass had set up and cooled down, the outer clay shell would be chipped away. The bowl would have then been turned right side up and the clay and straw on the inside would be removed. A few finishing touches and we now have a bowl large enough to be called a sea and it is exactly as God wanted and as He precisely specified for His Temple! The Bible is an anvil that has worn out many hammers my friend! Keep on hammering away if you like, but I would suggest you just put down your hammer and realize that Jesus has already been hammered to a cross for you! Just give it up and believe His WORD! John 20:27b ....do not be unbelieving, but believing. retxar |
