1 Kings 7:29 — Meaning and Application

And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits {was} the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it.

And the work of the bases {was} on this {manner}: they had borders, and the borders {were} between the ledges:

And on the borders that {were} between the ledges {were} lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges {there was} a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen {were} certain additions made of thin work.

And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver {were} undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.

And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above {was} a cubit: but the mouth thereof {was} round {after} the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it {were} gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
