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 And every base had four wheels of brass, and axles of brass; and on its four corners were shoulder-pieces: under the laver were shoulder-pieces molten, behind every garland.

31 And the mouth of it within the crown and above was a cubit; and its mouth was rounded, [as] the work of the base, a cubit and a half; and also upon its mouth was sculpture; but their panels were square, not round.

32 And the four wheels were under the panels; and the supports of the wheels were in the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit.

33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their supports, and their rims, and their spokes and their naves were all molten.

34 And there were four shoulder-pieces to the four corners of one base; of the base itself were its shoulder-pieces.
