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

27 And he made ten bases of bronze, four cubits the length of the one base, and four cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height. 28 And the work of the bases was this way: they had borders, and the borders were between the stays. 29 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubs. And a pedestal was on the stays above. And beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging-work. 30 And the one base had four bronze wheels and axles of bronze. And its four feet were supports to them; under the basin were casted supports with wreaths at each side. 31 And its mouth within and above the capital was a cubit. And its mouth was round like the work of a pedestal, a cubit and half of the cubit. And also on its mouth were carvings; and their borders were square, not round. 32 And under the borders were four wheels. And the axletrees of the wheels were in the base. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. 33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel, their axletrees, and their rims, and their hub, and their spokes, were all cast. 34 And there were four supports to the four corners of one base, and the supports were of the very base itself. 35 And in the top of the base was a round compass of a half a cubit high. And on the top of the base its sides and its borders were from it. 36 And he engraved cherubs, lions, and palm trees on the plates of its sides, and on its borders, as the place of each, with wreaths all around. 37 So he made the ten bases, one casting, one measure, one form was to them all.
