Meaning

Brim qatseh or qetseh = "an extremity" (in a variety of applications and idioms), "border," "edge," "side," "shore" (Jos 3:15 the King James Version; the Revised Version (British and American) "brink"); also saphah or sepheth = "edge," "lip" (1Ki 7:23, 1Ki 7:24, 1Ki 7:26, 2Ch 4:2, 2Ch 4:5). In Joh 2:7, the adverb ano, is used to emphasize the verb egemisan = "to fill," thus giving the idea of "filling to the top."
