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 Every base had four wheels of brass, turning on brass rods, and their four angles had angle-plates under them; the angle-plates under the base were of metal, and there were ornaments at the side of every one.

31 The mouth of it inside the angle-plate was one cubit across; it was round like a pillar, a cubit and a half across; it had designs cut on it; the sides were square, not round.

32 The four wheels were under the frames, and the rods on which the wheels were fixed were in the base; the wheels were a cubit and a half high.

33 The wheels were made like carriage-wheels, the rods on which they were fixed, the parts forming their edges, their rods and the middle points of them, were all formed out of liquid metal.

34 And there were four angle-plates at the four angles of every base, forming part of the structure of the base.
