Commentary on Exodus 30:18

Theological / Devotional

A laver. Nothing is revealed regarding its size or shape. It was of bronze, made from the mirrors the women of Israel gave as a freewill offering (ch. 38:8). In Solomon’s Temple the “molten sea” and “ten lavers” replaced the original laver (1 Kings 7:23-26, 38). It stood on its “foot,” or base, in the court of the tabernacle between the entrance to the tabernacle and the altar of burnt offering. Typically, the laver represents the washing away of our sins through faith in the shed blood of Christ (Acts 22:16; 1 Cor. 6:11; Eph. 5:26; Rev. 7:14).
