1 Kings 7:27-37
27Then he made ten bronze water carts. Each water cart was 6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4½ feet high.
28This was the design of the carts: They had frames; the frames were between the cross-pieces,
29and on the frames between the cross-pieces were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the cross-pieces there was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.
30Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. Underneath the four corners of the basin were cast supports, each next to a wreath.
31And the water cart’s opening inside the crown on top was eighteen inches wide. The opening was round, made as a pedestal twenty-seven inches wide. On it were carvings, but their frames were square, not round.
32There were four wheels under the frames, and the wheel axles were part of the water cart; each wheel was twenty-seven inches tall.
33The wheels’ design was similar to that of chariot wheels: their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.
34Four supports were at the four corners of each water cart; each support was one piece with the water cart.
35At the top of the cart was a band nine inches high encircling it; also, at the top of the cart, its braces and its frames were one piece with it.
36He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the plates of its braces and on its frames, wherever each had space, with encircling wreaths.
37In this way he made the ten water carts using the same casting, dimensions, and shape for all of them.
