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 workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.

34 Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself.

35 On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it.

36 He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around.

37 He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form.
