A Noted Scribal Discrepancy
Commentators note a discrepancy between this verse, which states the sea held 3,000 baths, and 1 Kings 7:26, which says 2,000. Scholars like Ellicott and Barnes suggest this is likely a minor scribal error, as the Hebrew words for 'two thousand' and 'thousands' were written very similarly. This kind of textual variant does not impact the core theological message.
