1 Rois 7:30 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:30

And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass,
&c.] Flat pieces or planks of brass, on which the wheels stood, and not on the bare floor; so that these wheels seem only to serve as supporters, not to carry the laver from place to place, as is usually said; for they were not like chariot wheels, on two sides of the carriage, but set one at each square; and besides, when the lavers were placed upon them, they were fixed in a certain place, ( 1 Kings 7:39 )

and the four corners thereof had undersetters;
or "shoulders F1", or pillars, which were placed on the plates of brass the wheels were; and served with them to support the lavers when laid upon the bases, and so were of the same use as men's shoulders, to bear burdens on them:

under the layer were undersetters molten;
cast as, and when and where, the bases were, and the plates on which they stood; this explains the use they were of, being under the laver; these pillars stood at the four corners of the base:

at the side of every addition;
made of thin work, ( 1 Kings 7:29 ) they stood by the side of, or within side, the sloping shelves.

1 Rois 7:30 In-Context

28 Voici en quoi consistaient ces bases. Elles étaient formées de panneaux, liés aux coins par des montants.
29 Sur les panneaux qui étaient entre les montants il y avait des lions, des boeufs et des chérubins; et sur les montants, au-dessus comme au-dessous des lions et des boeufs, il y avait des ornements qui pendaient en festons.
30 Chaque base avait quatre roues d'airain avec des essieux d'airain; et aux quatre angles étaient des consoles de fonte, au-dessous du bassin, et au delà des festons.
31 Le couronnement de la base offrait à son intérieur une ouverture avec un prolongement d'une coudée vers le haut; cette ouverture était ronde, comme pour les ouvrages de ce genre, et elle avait une coudée et demie de largeur; il s'y trouvait aussi des sculptures. Les panneaux étaient carrés, et non arrondis.
32 Les quatre roues étaient sous les panneaux, et les essieux des roues fixés à la base; chacune avait une coudée et demie de hauteur.
