What Does 1 Kings 7:35 Mean?
The top of each stand was finished with a round rim about nine inches high, into which the basin would seat, and its ledges and borders were cast together with the stand. The crowning ring matched the whole.
The round rim gathered and held the basin securely in place, every part formed of the same metal. A vessel set into a rim made for it does not slip or spill. So the lives God shapes are fitted to bear what He sets upon them, held by a frame of His own making, that what is precious may not be lost.
