Study note
Setting — The narrator details the construction specifications of Solomon’s temple furnishings, describing the bronze stands as they are assembled.
The words — חֲצִי (cha.Tzi) means “half,” and עָגֹל (‘a.Gol) means “round,” together specifying the circular band’s dimensions at the top of the stand.
The thread — The verse continues the architectural inventory in 1 Kings 7, cataloging exact measurements and casting techniques for the sanctuary’s bronze supports.
Why it lands — The text requires the reader to record the precise proportions and unified casting method used in the stand’s construction.
