Understanding the surrounding verses prevents misinterpretation:

And {there were} four undersetters to the four corners of one base: {and} the undersetters {were} of the very base itself.

And in the top of the base {was there} a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof {were} of the same.

For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about. {proportion: Heb. nakedness}

After this {manner} he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, {and} one size.

Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: {and} every laver was four cubits: {and} upon every one of the ten bases one laver.
