TEMPLE VESSELS
THE TEMPLE VESSELS
From 1 Kings 7:23-50; 2 Chronicles 4:1-22
Hiram, the skilled craftsman from Tyre, began the work of making vessels for the temple. After he skilfully cast the great bronze pillars, he made a large bronze basin, called a laver. It was fifteen feet across from one brim to the other and forty-five feet around the brim, which was seven and a half feet from the ground. On the lower part of the rim were two rows of rosebuds, cast as part of the total basin. The base on which this great laver sat was made of bronze and was cast as twelve large oxen, three facing each direction; north, east, south and west. The basin itself was four inches thick, shaped like a goblet or lily blossom. It held three thousand barrels of water, about twelve to eighteen thousand gallons. Hiram also made a great bronze altar. It was thirty feet long, thirty feet wide and fifteen feet high. Next, he made ten vats which held the water which the priests used to wash the offerings. Five of these vats were placed to the right of the great aver and five to the left. When the priests washed, they used these vats instead of the laver. The ten vats were placed on ten movable stands. Each stand had four wheels and was six feet wide, six feet long and four and a half feet high. The stands had frames with panels in them. The panels were decorated with carved lions, oxen and cherubim. The frames were decorated with rosettes or wreaths. Each stand had four bronze wheels which moved on bronze axles supported at each of the four corners by bronze posts decorated with rosettes or wreaths. The wheels were like chariot wheels, with axles, rims, spokes and hubs of cast bronze. The wheels were under the framework and the axles were part of the framework, each wheel was about twenty-seven inches high. The top of each stand was about a foot and a half high and two and a fourth feet deep, round with concave centre, with rosettes or wreaths decorating its sides. A round band circled the top, about nine inches deep and was cast as part of the frame. Around it was lions, palm trees and rosettes or wreaths. The ten bronze stands were all exactly alike, cast from the same mould. Ten bronze lavers or basins were cast and placed on the ten stands, each containing between two and four hundred gallons of water. Hiram also cast the pots, shovels and basins necessary for the temple work. He cast ten golden lamp stands and put five against each wall of the temple. Then he made ten tables and placed five against each wall. He also made one hundred solid gold bowls. He constructed a court for the priests and another court for the people. He covered the doors of these courts with bronze. The great laver was placed in the southeast corner of the outer area of the temple. Here is a list of the things which Hiram [also called Huram or Huramabi] made for King Solomon:
The two great bronze pillars,
The capitals for the pillars,
Latticework for the capitals,
Pomegranates for the capitals,
Ten stands and vats for washing,
The great layer and twelve bronze oxen for its base and
Pots, shovels, basins and flesh hooks.
The bronze castings were made in the clay ground of the plain of the Jordan River between Succoth and Zarthan. The total weight of the bronze castings was so great that nobody bothered to account for all of it. The vessels and furniture in the temple itself were all made of solid gold. These items included the altar, the table for the Bread of the Presence, ten lamp stands, flowers, lamps, tongs, cups, snuffers, basins, spoons, fire pans and sockets which served as hinges for the doors to the Holy of Holies and the entrance. All these things were made of solid gold.
COMMENTARY
SOLOMON’S COPPER INDUSTRY
The list of gold, silver, and bronze vessels for the temple is impressive. How was it possible? During the reign of Solomon, Israel was one of the wealthiest nations of the world. Where this wealth could be better lavished than on the temple of Adonai, Who was the source of all blessings. Where were the copper mines which provided Solomon with much of his legendary wealth? For hundreds of years that question has fascinated everyone who has read of Solomon’s copper industry. Biblical texts indicate that Solomon mined copper in the Arabah; the vast desert in southern Palestine. Ancient peoples knew of the rich mineral deposits in this area centuries before Solomon became king. In fact, Egyptian pharaohs of the fourteenth century B.C. began copper works in the Timnah Valley, their workmen included the expert Kenite smiths whose tradition of metal craftsmanship went back to prehistoric times. In copper-rich areas, lumps of the soft metal were buried just beneath the surface of the earth. In many places, lumps were visible in exposed cliff-faces or outcroppings of valley walls. Veins of the reddish-brown metal also ran deep into the earth, becoming less pure as they mixed with other materials. This copper was fairly easy to mine. Simple flint and stone hammers were capable of cracking the limestone rock embedding the metal nodules. Once the rock was loose, workmen had only to gather the lumps of raw copper ore. The task of melting ore into usable metal was not difficult either. Of all the ancient metals, copper was the easiest to work. Smiths heated the ore in charcoal burning furnaces shaped like beehives. These stone smelting furnaces focused heat around the clay crucibles holding the ore. Air holes in the bottom of the furnaces allowed smiths to pump a draft over the coals, keeping them red-hot. To make bronze, coppersmiths simply smelted copper and tin ores together. While still liquid, the molten metal could be cast into bars for shipping or laded directly into clay moulds. Clay from the Jordan Valley was of excellent quality for such moulds. Here the Phoenician craftsmen cast the bronze work for the temple. Some archaeologists believe that Solomon mined his copper near Ezion-geber and built special smelting furnaces there. Ruins of ancient furnaces, air flues and other remains exist, indicating that it was once a thriving metalworking centre. The harbour at Ezion-geber housed Solomon’s fleet of trading ships, which could have carried copper to foreign ports. Other archaeologists think these ruins are Egyptian; built and discarded long before Solomon’s time. They believe Solomon imported most of his copper from Syria. The question of Solomon’s copper industry still fascinates us today, even though we do not have all the answers!
By God’s original design, a man is unable to be a woman and a woman is unable to be a man. They can fill in for each other in a crippled, temporary sort of way, but one will never be complete without the other. If either disregards their role for any length of time, like any well-designed machine, malfunctions will begin to accumulate in every system: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. A person can compensate for that damage for a time through drugs, entertainment and distractions, but that won’t stop the degeneration. It only hides it, enabling a cascade of failures until the whole person is drowning in utter misery.

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?"
1Cor 6
“You felt sure of yourself in your evil;
you thought that no one could see you.
Your wisdom and knowledge led you astray,
and you said to yourself, ‘I am God—
there is no one else like me.’
11 Disaster will come upon you,
and none of your magic can stop it.
Ruin will come on you suddenly—
ruin you never dreamed of!
12 Keep all your magic spells and charms;
you have used them since you were young.
Perhaps they will be of some help to you;
perhaps you can frighten your enemies.
13 You are powerless in spite of the advice you get.
Let your astrologers come forward and save you—
those people who study the stars,
who map out the zones of the heavens
and tell you from month to month
what[b] is going to happen to you.
14 “They will be like bits of straw,
and a fire will burn them up!
They will not even be able to save themselves—
the flames will be too hot for them,
not a cozy fire to warm themselves by.
15 That is all the good they will do you—
those astrologers you've consulted all your life.
They all will leave you and go their own way,
and none will be left to save you.”
Luke 3 ► Peshitta Holy Bible Translated 1 But in the 15th year of the Kingdom of Tiberius Caesar in the government of Pontius Pilate in Judea, when Herodus was the Tetrarch in Galilee and Philippus his brother was Tetrarch in Ituria and in the region of Trakona, and Lusania was Tetrarch of Abilina, 2During The High Priesthood of Khanan and of Qaiapha, the word of God came upon Yohannan, son of Zachariah, in the wilderness. 3And he came into the whole region which is around the Jordan while he was preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins,
4Just as it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the Prophet, which says, “The voice which cries in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way of THE LORD JEHOVAH and straighten in the plain a road for our God.”
5“All the valleys will be filled and all the mountains and high places will be leveled and the rugged place will be smooth and the difficult region a plain,”
6“And everybody will see The Life of God.”
7And he said to the crowds who were coming to him to be baptized, “Offspring of Vipers! Who has instructed you to flee from the wrath that is coming?” 8“Produce therefore fruits worthy for repentance and do not start to say within yourselves, 'Abraham is our father', for I say to you that God can raise up from these stones children to Abraham.” 9“But behold, the ax is laid on the root of the tree. Every tree therefore, which is not producing good fruit is cut down and falls into the fire.”
There were 3 changes to the diet of the Israelites immediately after their circumcision in Joshua 5:
1) They ate Passover
2) They ate the harvest of Canaan
3) They stopped eating manna
There's a lot going on in Joshua 5:10-12. If you don't know the laws about Passover and First Fruits, you might miss it.

Matzah is no longer available locally, or even 90 minutes away, for me. Nor is maneschewitz wine. Where can a person order these items, perhaps by the case? Thank you.
