Context of 1 Kings 7:30
28The structure of the bases was as follows: they had borders, and borders between the frames, 29and on the borders that were below the frames were lions, oxen and cheruvim. On the frames there was a pedestal manner above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. Each base had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. Its four legs had brackets; the brackets were beneath the laver, cast with wreaths at each side. 31Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit high, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half, and also on its opening were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. 32The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were in the base. The height of a wheel was a cubit and half.
