lej ( שׁלב , shālābh ): The word in the sense of side-projection is used in 1 Kings 7:28 , 1 Kings 7:29 in connection with the bases of Solomon's MOLTEN SEA (which see); in 1 Kings 7:35 , 1 Kings 7:36 , where the King James Version uses the same word, the Revised Version (British and American) has "stay" (yādh , literally, "hand"). The Revised Version (British and American) likewise has "ledge" (round) for the King James Version "compass" (karkōbh ) in the description of the altar in Exodus 27:5; Exodus 38:4 (see ALTAR ), and the American Standard Revised Version substitutes "ledge" for "settle" (‛ăzārāh ) in Ezekiel 43:14 , Ezekiel 43:17 , Ezekiel 43:20; Ezekiel 45:19 .
