• “Lions, oxen, and cherubim” were sculpted on the bases themselves: strength, patience, and divine intelligence. The burnt offering is presented pure according to these attributes. It is manifested that they have been used to establish an offering by which the people might be made acceptable to God, having been identified with the victim. One might read on the “bases” what was the manner of the God who had supplied His people with a means for dwelling with Himself. (“Hiram and the Court: 1 Kings 7:13-51” by H.L. Rossier)
