Barnes' Notes
A round compass - A circular elevation, half a cubit high, rather than a circular depression, half a cubit deep. Compare I Kings 7:29. The "ledges" and "borders" of the top of the base were its "hands" and its "panels." These "hands," distinct from the "shoulders" I Kings 7:30, were probably supports, adorned with engraved plates I Kings 7:36, either of the elevated circle on which the laver stood, or of the lower part of the laver itself. Both panels and "hands" were "of the same," i. e. of one piece with the base, cast at the same time.
