Pensée juive sur Rois 1 7:30

וְאַרְבָּעָה֩ אוֹפַנֵּ֨י נְחֹ֜שֶׁת לַמְּכוֹנָ֤ה הָֽאַחַת֙ וְסַרְנֵ֣י נְחֹ֔שֶׁת וְאַרְבָּעָ֥ה פַעֲמֹתָ֖יו כְּתֵפֹ֣ת לָהֶ֑ם מִתַּ֤חַת לַכִּיֹּר֙ הַכְּתֵפֹ֣ת יְצֻק֔וֹת מֵעֵ֥בֶר אִ֖ישׁ לֹיֽוֹת׃

Chaque support avait quatre roues de cuivre avec des essieux de cuivre; les quatre coins étaient munis de consoles qui étaient fondues de manière à soutenir le bassin, et dont chacune faisait face aux degrés.

The Third Beit HaMikdash

He made “four copper wheels for each stand.”2I Melachim 7:30. Each stand resembled a large wagon.3I.e., the stands resemble carriages in which the basins were placed. “Each wheel was one-and-one-half cubits high. The wheels were fashioned like chariot wheels.”4I Melachim 7:32-33. Each wheel was made up of two wheels, one inside the other,5Rashi, I Melachim 7:33. Rashi based his commentary on this verse on Yechezkel 1:16. in a crisscross. Thus, the person moving the stand could easily turn it in any direction without having to maneuver it extensively.
