rafts (floats for transporting cedar logs from Lebanon by sea)
A technical maritime term describing the log rafts used to transport Lebanese cedar from Hiram's Phoenician ports to Solomon's building projects. First Kings 5:9 describes Hiram's workers lashing logs together as rafts, floating them down the Mediterranean coast to the designated port, then breaking them apart for overland transport to Jerusalem. This was standard ancient Near Eastern practice for moving massive timber quantities.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The logistics of Solomon's temple project required innovative transport: 1 Kings 5:9 explains that Hiram 'will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place you indicate.' Spanish 'en balsas' (in rafts) and English agree on the floating log-raft method. The term appears only here, reflecting specialized maritime vocabulary for this timber-export industry that was Phoenicia's economic backbone. 1×
