1 Kings 7:35 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:35

And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half
a cubit high
The same with the chapiter, ( 1 Kings 7:31 ) which rose up straight half a cubit, and widening upwards half a cubit more, here called the round compass of it:

and on the top of the base, the ledges thereof and the borders thereof,
were of the same;
of the same piece of brass with the base, all being cast together.

1 Kings 7:35 In-Context

33 The wheels were made like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.

34 Each stand had four handles, one for each corner, projecting from the stand.

35 At the top of each stand was a circular band half a cubit high. The supports and panels were cast as a unit with the top of the stand.

36 He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and panels, wherever each had space, with wreaths all around.

37 In this way he made the ten stands, each with the same casting, dimensions, and shape.
