1 Kings 7:33

33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their supports, and their rims, and their spokes and their naves were all molten.

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 And the mouth of it within the crown and above was a cubit; and its mouth was rounded, [as] the work of the base, a cubit and a half; and also upon its mouth was sculpture; but their panels were square, not round.
32 And the four wheels were under the panels; and the supports of the wheels were in the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.
33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their supports, and their rims, and their spokes and their naves were all molten.
34 And there were four shoulder-pieces to the four corners of one base; of the base itself were its shoulder-pieces.
35 And in the top of the base there was a circular elevation of half a cubit round about; and on the top of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.
