Exodus 28:14, Exodus 28:22, Exodus 28:24, Exodus 28:25, Exodus 39:15-18, 2 Kings 25:17

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 7:41 - two networks Jeremiah 52:22 - with network

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars,.... These were the ornaments of the chapiters; the former being like thick branches of trees, with their boughs and leaves curiously wrought, as the word signifies, and the latter like fringes, such as the Jews wore at the skirt of their garments:

seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter; perhaps with four rows of checker work, and three of chain work.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Nets ... - Rather “Nets chequerwise, and festoons chainwise,” - probably a fine network over the whole, and chainwork hanging in festoons outside.

Seven for the one chapiter - The Septuagint reading is preferable. “A net for the one chapiter and a net for the other chapiter.” Compare 1 Kings 7:41.
