In this way
This phrase indicates a methodical and intentional process. The Hebrew root here suggests a deliberate action, reflecting the careful planning and divine inspiration behind the construction of the temple furnishings. It emphasizes the importance of following God's instructions precisely, as seen throughout the building of the temple, which was a sacred task.

he made
The verb "made" is derived from the Hebrew word "עשׂה" (asah), which means to create or fashion. This highlights the craftsmanship and skill involved in the construction. It underscores the human role in executing divine plans, reminding us that God often works through human hands to accomplish His purposes.

the ten stands
The "ten stands" refer to the bases for the lavers used in the temple. The number ten in biblical numerology often symbolizes completeness or divine order. These stands were essential for the temple's function, representing the order and structure God desires in worship and service.

each with the same casting
The phrase "same casting" indicates uniformity and consistency. The Hebrew word for "casting" suggests a mold or pattern, emphasizing that each stand was identical. This uniformity reflects the unity and harmony that should characterize the community of believers, as each part of the temple was integral to its overall purpose.

dimensions
The term "dimensions" refers to the specific measurements given for the stands. In the biblical context, precise measurements were crucial, as they ensured that everything fit together perfectly according to God's design. This precision reminds us of God's attention to detail and the importance of adhering to His standards.

and shape
The "shape" of the stands speaks to their form and appearance. The Hebrew word used here can also imply beauty or aesthetic quality. This highlights that the temple was not only functional but also beautiful, reflecting the glory and majesty of God. It serves as a reminder that our worship and service should be both effective and pleasing to God.

Verse 37. - After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.
