1 Kings 7:30

“And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass, etc.] Flat pieces or planks of brass, on which the wheels stood, and not on the bare floor; so that these wheels seem only to serve as supporters, not to carry the laver from place to place, as is usually said; for they were not like chariot wheels, on two sides of the carriage, but set one at each square; and besides, when the lavers were placed upon them, they were fixed in a certain place, (<110739>1 Kings 7:39) and the four corners thereof had undersetters; or “shoulders f126”, or pillars, which were placed on the plates of brass the wheels were; and served with them to support the lavers when laid upon the bases, and so were of…”

“Plates of brass - Rather, “brazen axletrees.” The “undersetters” (literally, “shoulders”) are conjectured to have been four brackets, or bars, proceeding from the four upper corners of the bases, and stretching upward to the outer rim of the laver, which thus rested partly upon them. At the side of every addition - Rather, “each opposite garlands.” The laver was ornamented with a garland at the place where the support reached it. return to 'Top of Page'”

“Wheels - Whereby the bases and lavers might be removed from place to place as need required. Under - setters - Heb. shoulders; fitly so called, because they supported the lavers, that they should not fall from their bases, when the bases were removed together with the lavers. 3 Kings (1 Kings) 7:31”

“wheels: Eze 1:15-21, Eze 3:13, Eze 10:10-13 had undersetters: It is probable that these undersetters were so many strong legs, somewhat shorter than the wheels, and were intended to prevent the laver from tilting, or falling, in case of any accident. 3 Kings (1 Kings) 7:32”
