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 The walls of the Sea were about three inches thick, and its rim flared out like a cup and resembled a water lily blossom. It could hold about 11,000 gallons of water.

27 Huram also made ten bronze water carts, each 6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4 feet tall.

28 They were constructed with side panels braced with crossbars.

29 Both the panels and the crossbars were decorated with carved lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreath decorations.

30 Each of these carts had four bronze wheels and bronze axles. There were supporting posts for the bronze basins at the corners of the carts; these supports were decorated on each side with carvings of wreaths.
