John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 Kings 7:31

The mouth — So he calls that part in the top of the base which was left hollow, that the foot of the laver might be let into it. The chapiter — Within the little base, which he calls the chapiter, because it rose up from, and stood above the great base. Above — Above the chapiter; for the mouth went up, and grew wider like a funnel. A cubit — In height, 1 Kings 7:35, whereof half a cubit was above the chapiter or little base, and the other half below it. A cubit and half — In compass. Four square — So the innermost part, called the mouth, was round, but the outward part was square, as when a circle is made within a quadrangle.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 Kings 7:31

And the (q) mouth of it within the chapiter and above [was] a cubit: but the mouth thereof [was] round [after] the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it [were] gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round.

(q) The mouth of the great base or frame entered into the chapiter, or pillar that bore up the cauldron.
