33 they were designed like chariot wheels. Everything - axles, rims, spokes, and hubs - was 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 Each stand held a basin on a circular engraved support a foot and a half deep set on a pedestal two and a quarter feet square. The washstand itself was square.
32 The axles were attached under the stand and the wheels fixed to them. The wheels were twenty-seven inches in diameter;
33 they were designed like chariot wheels. Everything - axles, rims, spokes, and hubs - was of cast metal.
34 There was a handle at the four corners of each washstand, the handles cast in one piece with the stand.
35 At the top of the washstand there was a ring about nine inches deep. The uprights and handles were cast with the stand.
