1 Kings 7:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:28

And the work of the bases was on this manner
The following was the form in which they were made:

they had borders;
plates of brass all around them, which enclosed them:

and the borders were between the ledges;
which were short staves or bars of brass, that stood upright all around, like the staves of a cart on each side, or the rails of a balcony, only in double rows; and between these were the borders or plates of brass.

1 Kings 7:28 In-Context

26 And it was a hand breadth thick, and its lip was made like the lip of a cup, with flowers of lilies; it contained two thousand baths.

27 He also made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of each base and four cubits the width and three cubits the height.

28 And the work of the bases was like this: they had borders, and the borders were between mouldings;

29 and upon the borders that were between the mouldings were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the mouldings of the base, above and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of bevelled work.

30 And each base had four brasen wheels and cardinals {hinged axles} of brass, and in its four corners it had shoulderpieces, which were molten at the side of each addition, to be under the laver.
