En hij graveerde op de bladen zijner handvatsels en op zijn lijsten cherubs, leeuwen en palmen, en tegenover elk daarvan festoenen rondom. (7-30b) En zijn vier voeten, daaraan waren schouderstukken; onder het bekken waren de schouderstukken gegoten, tegenover elk daarvan festoenen. (7-31) En zijn mond was binnen de schouderstukken, naar boven drie el; en zijn mond was rond; en ook op zijn mond was snijwerk; maar hun lijsten waren vierkant, niet rond.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof,.... In this, and the preceding verse, a different word is used, translated "ledges", from that in 1 Kings 7:28, the Targum renders it axle trees; as if the axle trees of the wheels, and the borders, circumferences, and rings of them, were meant, in which were the following engravings: it literally signifies hands or handles; and Procopius Gazaeus says, that the bases had, in the upper part of them, forms of hands holding a circle like a crown:

he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of everyone; these figures were made as large as the plates of the ledges, and the borders, would allow room for:

and the addition round about; which were sloping shelves of brass around the base, 1 Kings 7:29 these were ornamented in like manner.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

According to the proportion of every one - i. e. “as large as the room left for them allowed,” implying that the panels were smaller than those on the sides of the base, and allowed scant room for the representations.
