Context of 1 Kings 7:33
31Each had a 1½-foot-deep opening in the center to the circular frame on top. The opening was round, formed like a pedestal, and was two feet ⌞wide⌟. Around the opening there were engravings. But the panels were square, not round. 32The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles were attached to the stand. Each wheel was two feet high. The wheels were made like chariot wheels. The axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal. 34The four supports at the four corners of each stand were part of the stand. 35The top of each stand had a round, nine-inch-high band. Above the stand were supports which were part of the panels.
