1 Kings 7:27-37 - The Bronze Water Carts

27 He made the ten stands of bronze; each stand [was] four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits in height. 28 Now this [was] the construction of the stands: there [were] frames for them and frames between the crossbars, 29 and on the frames which [were] between the crossbars [were] lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the crossbars both above and beneath the lions and oxen [were] works of cascading wreaths. 30 [There were] four bronze wheels for each of the stands, with bronze axles; the four support pedestals for these [were] under the basin, and the supports [were] decorated on each side [with] wreaths. 31 Its opening from [the] inside of the capital and above [was] a cubit; its pedestal [was] a round work of a cubit and a half; moreover, on its opening [were] the carvings with four-sided frames, not circular. 32 Four of the wheels [were] underneath the frames, and the axles of the wheels [were] on the stands. The height of each wheel [was] a cubit and a half. 33 The construction of the wheel [was] like the construction of the wheel of the chariot; their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their naves [were] all cast. 34 The four supports [were] the four corners of each stand, with the stand supporting it. 35 On top of the stand [was] half a cubit deep, circular all around, and on the top of the stand [were] its supports and its frames. 36 He engraved on the plates, on its supports, and on its frame cherubim, lions and images of a palm tree, according to the space for each, with wreaths all around. 37 He made the ten stands like this in one cast, with the same measurement and shape for each of them.
