Opened flower forms in carved decoration · dominant
In 1 Kings 6:18 and 1 Kings 6:29, the passive participle occurs in clauses describing cedar and wall carvings alongside gourds, cherubim, palms, and flower forms; the APB renders the flower forms as "open flowers." The same construction recurs on the olive-wood doors in 1 Kings 6:32 and in the carved work of 1 Kings 6:35, where the APB again includes "open flowers."
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across all four verses, the APB presents the clause with "open flowers." This wording confirms the decorative setting but does not isolate the term independently.
