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

27 And he made ten bottoms of brass, four cubits long and four cubits broad apiece, and three high. 28 And the works of the bottoms was on this manner that the sides were as it were flat boards between the ledges. 29 And on the flat boards between the ledges were lions, oxen and Cherubs. And upon the ledges that were above and beneath the lions and oxen, was joined pendant work. 30 And every bottom had four brazen wheels, whose axletrees were also of brass. And in the four corners were undersetters under the laver cast, each over against his fellow. 31 And the stalk of the laver was in the middle of the bottom one cubit high, and a cubit and a half round, and it had knops thereon in the bare places which were foursquare not round. 32 And under the sides were four wheels and their axletrees joined fast to the bottom. And the height of every wheel was a cubit and a half. 33 And the workmanship of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel. And the axletrees, the navels, spokes and shafts were all molten. 34 And the four undersetters in the four corners were of the very bottoms. 35 And under the stalk of the laver in the midst of the bottom was there a round foot of half a cubit high. And thereon, plain places and ledges of the self. 36 And he graved in the plain and also on the ledges, Cherubs, lions and palm trees, everywhere round about. 37 And on this manner he made the ten bottoms cast work: all of one measure and one size.
