1 Kings 7:35 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:35

And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half
a cubit high
The same with the chapiter, ( 1 Kings 7:31 ) which rose up straight half a cubit, and widening upwards half a cubit more, here called the round compass of it:

and on the top of the base, the ledges thereof and the borders thereof,
were of the same;
of the same piece of brass with the base, all being cast together.

1 Kings 7:35 In-Context

33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.
34 Each stand had four handles, one on each corner, projecting from the stand.
35 At the top of the stand there was a circular band half a cubit deep. The supports and panels were attached to the top of the stand.
36 He engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and on the panels, in every available space, with wreaths all around.
37 This is the way he made the ten stands. They were all cast in the same molds and were identical in size and shape.
