This mobility may symbolize the dynamic nature of God's presence among His people, reminiscent of the wheels in Ezekiel's vision (Ezekiel 1:15-21), which also signify divine movement and presence. with bronze axles and a basin resting on four supports with wreaths at each side Persons / Places / Events 1.

This reminds us of the importance of repentance and purity in our own worship. Divine Craftsmanship The detailed design and craftsmanship of the temple furnishings reflect God's desire for excellence and beauty in worship. We are called to offer our best in service to God, using our talents and resources for His glory. Mobility in Worship The wheels on the stands suggest a readiness to move and adapt.

These were, no doubt, at the four corners, and served to raise the stand above the wheels, so that the foliage, etc., was not hidden] thereof had undersetters [Heb. shoulders. "The bearings of the axle" (Gesen.) must be meant. The bases had four feet, which apparently terminated in a sort of socket or fork, into which the axletrees were inserted]: under the laver were under setters [Heb. the shoulders] molten [or cast], at the side of every addition. [Lit., opposite to a man (i.e., each) were wreaths. The explanation of Keil is that "from the feet., there ascended shoulder pieces, which ran along the outside of the chest and reached to the lower part of the basin, which was upon the lid of the chest, and, as shoulders, either supported or helped to support it." He thus understands the "shoulder" to extend from the foot, or axletree, to the bottom of the laver. But it seems quite as likely that these shoulders were within the stand; that they started from its upper corners, i.e., "from under the laver" (as in the Hebrew), passed down along its inner angles, and emerged below - the stand may well have had no bottom - in the shape of feet or forks, which rested on the axletrees, and supported both stand and ]aver. Over against this internal shoulder blade or support was placed externally a wreath. But Bahr despairs of arriving at any just and adequate understanding of this arrangement, and, in the absence of drawings, it is perhaps hopeless that we shall ever interpret the words with certainty.] Parallel Commentaries ...
