2 Chronicles 4:10 - Exposition

The right side of the east end, over against the south (so also 1 Kings 7:39 ; comp. Exodus 30:18 ). The sea found its position, therefore, in the place of the tabernacle laver of old, between altar of brass and porch. It must be remembered that the entrance was east, but it was counted to a person standing with the back to the tabernacle or temple, as though he were, in fact, going out, not entering in, the sacred enclosure; therefore on the right side will be southward, as written in this verse.
