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 Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side.

31 Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round.

32 The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

33 The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.

34 Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself.
