1 Kings 7:33

33 The construction of the wheels resembled chariot wheels. The axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all made of cast metal.

1 Kings 7:33 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:33

And the work of the wheels was like the work of a
chariot wheel
In the same form and fashion as one of them; the Targum is,

``like a chariot of glory;''

a splendid one, curiously wrought; unless reference is had in it to the chariot of Ezekiel's vision:

their axle trees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes,
were all molten;
cast together when the base was.

1 Kings 7:33 In-Context

31 Inside the bowl was an opening eighteen inches deep. The opening was round, measuring twenty-seven inches, with engravings. The panels of the stands were square rather than round.
32 There were four wheels beneath the panels. The axles of the wheels were attached to the stand. Each wheel was twenty-seven inches in height.
33 The construction of the wheels resembled chariot wheels. The axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all made of cast metal.
34 There was a handle on each of the four corners of every stand, projecting from the side of the stand.
35 The top of the stand had a band running around the perimeter that was nine inches deep. The stand had its own supports and panels.
