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 brazen wheels and plates of brass, and the four corners thereof had supports. Under the laver were molten supports at the side of every addition.

31 And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit; but the mouth thereof was round according to the work of the base, a cubit and a half; and also upon the mouth of it were engravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.

32 And under the borders were four wheels, and the axles of the wheels were joined to 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 axles and their hubs and their rims and their spokes were all molten.

34 And there were four supports to the four corners of one base, and the supports were part of the very base itself.
