2 Chronicles 4:5
◄  2 Chronicles 4:5  ►
And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.

with flowers of lilies. or, like a lily flower.
three thousand baths. In the parallel passage, it is said to hold only two thousand baths, but that, if filled up to the top, it would hold

3000. But, as we have already seen that the Babylonish cubit was less than that of the ancient Hebrews, it might be the same with measures of capacity, so that

2000 of the ancient jewish baths might have been equal to

3000 of those used after the captivity. The Targum cuts the knot: ` It received

3000 baths of dry measure, and held

2000 of liquid measure.'
