Context of 1 Kings 7:33
31Its opening inside the crown at the top measured a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half. Also on its opening were carvings, and their borders were square, not round. 32Underneath the borders were four wheels, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. The wheels were made like a chariot wheel: their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. 34Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; the supports were part of the stand itself. 35On the top of the stand there was a circular piece half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its supports and borders were part of it.
