Au-dessous de ces moulures se trouvaient quatre roues, dont les essieux tenaient au support, et dont chacune était haute d’une coudée et demie.
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.
