Kaisipang Hudyo sa 1 Mga Hari 7:28: The Third Beit HaMikdash

“This is the craftsmanship of the stands” ¹I Melachim 7:28. This verse is referring to the stands for the basins. In the First Beis HaMikdash, Shlomoh had ten basins made. The basins rested on these stands. The stands had wheels so that they could be moved easily.

The verse uses the term ¹¹I Melachim 7:28.וּמִסְגְּרֹת to refer to the frames that were attached to the axles on all four sides. These frames formed a square, as stated,¹²Ibid.:31. “Their frames were square, not round.” These appendages are called frames because they enclose – or frame – the stand’s axles on all four sides.
