Jérémie 52:20

La Bible David Martin

Quant aux deux colonnes, à la mer, et aux douze bœufs d'airain qui servaient de soubassements, lesquels le Roi Salomon avait faits pour la maison de l'Eternel, on ne pesa point l'airain de tous ces vaisseaux-là.

Parallel Translations

La Bible Ostervald (1996)
Pour ce qui est des deux colonnes, de la mer et des douze bœufs d'airain qui lui servaient de base, et que Salomon avait faits pour la maison de l'Éternel, on ne pouvait peser l'airain de tous ces objets.

Darby's French Translation
Les deux colonnes, la mer unique, et les douze boeufs d'airain qui tenaient lieu de socles, que le roi Salomon avait faits pour la maison de l'Éternel: pour l'airain de tous ces objets il n'y avait point de poids.

Louis Segond (1910)
Les deux colonnes, la mer, et les douze boeufs d'airain qui servaient de base, et que le roi Salomon avait faits pour la maison de l'Eternel, tous ces ustensiles d'airain avaient un poids inconnu.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

The two pillars, one sea, and twelve brasen bulls,.... The two pillars of Jachin and Boaz before mentioned, and the molten or brasen sea, with the twelve bulls or oxen the sea stood upon, 1 Kings 7:25;

that [were] under the bases; or "by the bases", as Jarchi; or rather, "that were instead of bases" d; for the twelve oxen were the bases on which the molten sea stood:

which King Solomon had made in the house of the Lord; this is mentioned to show that these were the selfsame pillars, sea, and oxen, and other vessels, that Solomon made, that were now carried away; for though Ahaz took down the sea from off the brasen oxen, and put it on a pavement of stones, yet it seems not to have been destroyed; and might be restored to its proper place by Hezekiah, or some other prince;

the brass of all these vessels was without weight; there was no weight sufficient to weigh them; the weight of them could not very well be told; they were so heavy, that in Solomon's time the weight of them was not taken, when they were placed in the temple, so neither when they were taken away, 1 Kings 7:47.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

twelve brasen bulls that were under - Omitted in 2 Kings and in Jeremiah 27:19. Probably rightly, for what is said here of their being under the bases is a mistake. The bases were under the ten lavers. The Septuagint makes sense by translating it: “the twelve brasen bulls under the sea.”
