The number four often symbolizes completeness or universality in the Bible, as seen in the four corners of the earth or the four living creatures in Revelation. The handles would have been practical for moving the stands, indicating the importance of mobility and functionality in temple service. This detail reflects the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail in the temple's construction, emphasizing the sacredness and orderliness of worship.<p><b>one for each corner</b><br>The mention of each corner having a handle suggests a design that ensures stability and balance. In biblical symbolism, corners can represent strength and foundation, as seen in the "cornerstone" metaphor for Christ (<a href="/psalms/118-22.htm">Psalm 118:22</a>, <a href="/isaiah/28-16.htm">Isaiah 28:16</a>, <a href="/ephesians/2-20.htm">Ephesians 2:20</a>). The design of the stands, with handles at each corner, may symbolize the strength and stability of God's presence and the foundational role of the temple in Israel's spiritual life.<p><b>projecting from the stand</b><br>The projection of the handles from the stand indicates a design that is both functional and aesthetic. This detail highlights the craftsmanship of Hiram of Tyre, who was renowned for his skill in bronze work (<a href="/1_kings/7-13.htm">1 Kings 7:13-14</a>). The projecting handles could also symbolize the outreach of God's presence from the temple to the people, much like how the church is called to extend the message of Christ to the world. The design reflects the beauty and grandeur of Solomon's temple, which was a physical representation of God's glory and majesty.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>The king of Israel who commissioned the building of the temple and his palace, including the construction of various furnishings.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/h/hiram.htm">Hiram (Huram)</a></b><br>A skilled craftsman from Tyre, hired by Solomon to create the bronze works for the temple, including the stands mentioned in this verse.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/temple_of_solomon.htm">Temple of Solomon</a></b><br>The first temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship for the Israelites, symbolizing God's presence among His people.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/b/bronze_stands.htm">Bronze Stands</a></b><br>Part of the temple furnishings, these stands were used to support the basins for washing, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail in the temple's construction.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/a/attention_to_detail_in_worship.htm">Attention to Detail in Worship</a></b><br>The detailed description of the temple furnishings, including the stands, highlights the importance of reverence and care in our worship practices.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_provision_of_skilled_workers.htm">God's Provision of Skilled Workers</a></b><br>Just as God provided Hiram to Solomon, He equips individuals with unique skills and talents for His purposes today.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/symbolism_of_purity_and_cleansing.htm">Symbolism of Purity and Cleansing</a></b><br>The stands supported basins for washing, symbolizing the need for spiritual cleansing and purity in approaching God.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/t/the_role_of_community_in_building_god's_kingdom.htm">The Role of Community in Building God's Kingdom</a></b><br>The construction of the temple involved many skilled workers, illustrating the importance of community and collaboration in serving God's purposes.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/l/legacy_of_faithful_service.htm">Legacy of Faithful Service</a></b><br>The enduring legacy of the temple's construction serves as a reminder of the lasting impact of faithful service to God.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_1_kings_7.htm">Top 10 Lessons from 1 Kings 7</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/does_laughter_bring_joy_to_the_heart.htm">Who can condemn if God justifies us?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/is_1_kings_7_27-29's_design_plausible.htm">How plausible is the ornate design and sheer volume of items crafted in 1 Kings 7:27-29 when compared to similar works from that era?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_is_solomon_punished_for_intermarriage.htm">1 Kings 11:9-10 -
