Listen to 1 Re 7:30
30 Ogni base avea quattro ruote di rame con le sale di rame; e ai quattro angoli c’erano delle mensole, sotto il bacino; queste mensole erano di getto; di faccia a ciascuna stavan delle ghirlande.

1 Re 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 Re 7:30 In-Context

28 E il lavoro delle basi consisteva in questo. Eran formate di riquadri, tenuti assieme per mezzo di sostegni.
29 Sopra i riquadri, fra i sostegni, c’erano de’ leoni, de’ buoi e dei cherubini; lo stesso, sui sostegni superiori; ma sui sostegni inferiori, sotto i leoni ed i buoi, c’erano delle ghirlande a festoni.
30 Ogni base avea quattro ruote di rame con le sale di rame; e ai quattro angoli c’erano delle mensole, sotto il bacino; queste mensole erano di getto; di faccia a ciascuna stavan delle ghirlande.
31 Al coronamento della base, nell’interno, c’era un’apertura in cui s’adattava il bacino; essa avea un cubito d’altezza, era rotonda, della forma d’una base di colonna, e aveva un cubito e mezzo di diametro; anche lì v’erano delle sculture; i riquadri erano quadrati e non circolari.
32 Le quattro ruote eran sotto i riquadri, le sale delle ruote eran fissate alla base, e l’altezza d’ogni ruota era di un cubito e mezzo.
