Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 7:39

39 And he put five bases on the right side of the house , and five on the left side of the house : and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, over against the south .

i. e. In the South-side, as is expressed in the end of the Verse, and as the right side is used above 1 King. 6. 8. and Psal. 89. 12.

Not within the House, but in the Priests Court, where they washed either their Hands or Feet, or the parts of the Sacrifices.

i. e. On the North-side; for this is here opposed to the right or South-side.

i. e. In the South-East part, where the Offerings were prepared.
