2Ch 4:1.
ALTAR OF BRASS.
1. he made an altar of brass--Steps must have been necessary for ascending so elevated an altar, but the use of these could be no longer forbidden
(Ex 20:26)
after the introduction of an official costume for the priests
(Ex 28:42).
It measured thirty-five feet by thirty-five, and in height seventeen and a half feet. The thickness of the metal used for this altar is nowhere given; but supposing it to have been three inches, the whole weight of the metal would not be under two hundred tons [NAPIER].

铜 海
2. 他铸了一个铜海——（参看
1Ki 7:23
的注释），
该处经文作「野瓜」，而此处作「牛」。一般推测，那一排排装饰性的野瓜呈牛头之形。
英文原文
2Ch 4:2-5.
MOLTEN SEA.
2. he made a molten sea--(See on
1Ki 7:23),
as in that passage "knops" occur instead of "oxen." It is generally supposed that the rows of ornamental knops were in the form of ox heads.

3. 铸海的时候，铸了二行牛——意思是：那圆形的盆和承托它的铜牛都铸成一体，是在同一个模子里一次铸成的。关于这盆的容量，两处记载有所出入：
1Ki 7:26
说可盛水二千罢特，此处却说有三千罢特之多。有人认为这里所说的不仅是盆中所能容的水量，也包括使其运作、使其如泉源般流淌所需的水量，即同时充满盆及附属器皿所需的水。支持此说的理由是：两处所用的字眼不同——
1Ki 7:26
译作容，此处则译作收和盛。「收」与「盛」是有分别的。当这盆如泉源般运作、其各部分都为此充满时，附属部分连同铜海本身所收的达三千罢特；但若只就那圆盆本身所盛而言，铜海单独盛的不过二千罢特。它收而盛者共三千罢特 [加尔默（CALMET），《残篇》（Fragments）]。
英文原文
3. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast--The meaning is, that the circular basin and the brazen oxen which supported it were all of one piece, being cast in one and the same mould. There is a difference in the accounts given of the capacity of this basin, for while in
1Ki 7:26
it is said that two thousand baths of water could be contained in it, in this passage no less than three thousand are stated. It has been suggested that there is here a statement not merely of the quantity of water which the basin held, but that also which was necessary to work it, to keep it flowing as a fountain; that which was required to fill both it and its accompaniments. In support of this view, it may be remarked that different words are employed: the one in
1Ki 7:26
rendered contained; the two here rendered, received and held. There was a difference between receiving and holding. When the basin played as a fountain, and all its parts were filled for that purpose, the latter, together with the sea itself, received three thousand baths; but the sea exclusively held only two thousand baths, when its contents were restricted to those of the circular basin. It received and held three thousand baths [CALMET, Fragments].

十个铜盆、灯台和桌子
6. 十个铜盆——（参看
1Ki 7:27
的注释）。
会幕的铜盆大概早已被毁。这十个新铜盆放在廊子和祭坛之间；铜海是为祭司洗手洗脚之用，这些铜盆则是为洗祭牲之用。
英文原文
2Ch 4:6-18.
THE TEN LAVERS, CANDLESTICKS, AND TABLES.
6. ten lavers--(See on
1Ki 7:27).
The laver of the tabernacle had probably been destroyed. The ten new ones were placed between the porch and the altar, and while the molten sea was for the priests to cleanse their hands and feet, these were intended for washing the sacrifices.

的注释）。
数目加增，不仅与圣殿特有的华美相称，对希伯来人也是常存的象征——表明神的话语之光日益增长，才能抵挡世上日益加增的黑暗 [莱特富特（LIGHTFOOT）]。
英文原文
7. ten candlesticks--(See on
1Ki 7:49).
The increased number was not only in conformity with the characteristic splendor of the edifice, but also a standing emblem to the Hebrews, that the growing light of the word was necessary to counteract the growing darkness in the world [LIGHTFOOT].

铜 坛
1. 他造了一座铜坛——要登上如此高大的祭坛，必须有阶梯；但在为祭司制定了正式的圣职服饰之后
(Ex 20:26)
所禁用的阶梯，此时已不再适用
(Ex 28:42)。
此坛长宽各三十五英尺，高十七英尺半。用于此坛的金属厚度在经中并无记载；但假定其厚度为三英寸，则全部金属的总重量不会少于二百吨 [内皮尔（NAPIER）]。
