Ten cubits. All was not therefore ornamented. Protestants, "there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit. The knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast. "(Haydock) The signification of Pekahim is not ascertained, whether it be "apples, balls", or perhaps a corrupt word for Bokrim, "oxen "or "ox heads "as 2 Paralipomenon (iv. 3,) clearly explains it. (Calmet) There also it is insinuated, that the carvings commenced only towards the bottom, where the circumference was reduced to 10 cubits. (Menochius)
