1 Kings 7:32 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:32

And under the borders were four wheels
Not under the borders last mentioned, but those in ( 1 Kings 7:29 ) ,

and the axle trees of the wheels [were] joined to the base;
to the four sides of it:

and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit;
that is, from the plate of brass on which it stood, to the axis or semicircle of it; so that the highest part of the ring being also a cubit and an half, reached to the top of the base, it being but three cubits high, ( 1 Kings 7:27 ) .

1 Kings 7:32 In-Context

30 Every trolley had four bronze wheels and bronze axles, and its four legs each had cast supports which were under the basin, with wreaths next to each.

31 The opening of the stand into which the basin was inserted was eighteen inches high; the stand was round, resembling a pedestal, and it was two-and-a-half feet in diameter. On the stand were carvings, and the outside was square, not round.

32 The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles for the wheels were attached to the trolleys; each wheel was two-and-a-half feet.

33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all cast metal.

34 There were four supports at the four corners of each trolley; the supports were attached to the trolley itself.
