1 Kings 7:27-40

27Then 1he madeH6213 the tenH6235 standsH4350 of bronzeH5178; the lengthH753 of eachH259 standH4350 was fourH702 cubitsH520 and its widthH7341 fourH702 cubitsH520 and its heightH6967 threeH7969 cubitsH520. 28ThisH2088 was the designH4639 of the standsH4350: they had bordersH4526, even bordersH4526 betweenH996 the 2framesH7948, 29and on the bordersH4526 whichH834 were betweenH996 the 3framesH7948 were lionsH738, oxenH1241 and cherubimH3742; and on the 4framesH7948 there was a pedestalH3653 aboveH4480H4605, and beneathH4480H8478 the lionsH738 and oxenH1241 were wreathsH3914 of hangingH4174 workH4639. 30Now eachH259 standH4350 had fourH702 bronzeH5178 wheelsH212 with bronzeH5178 axlesH5633, and its fourH702 feetH6471 had supportsH3802; beneathH4480H8478 the basinH3595 were castH3332 supportsH3802 with wreathsH3914 at eachH376 sideH5676. 31Its openingH6310 insideH4480H1004 the crownH3805 at the topH4605 was a cubitH520, and its openingH6310 was roundH5696 like the designH4639 of a pedestalH3653, a cubitH520 and a halfH2677; and alsoH1571 on its openingH6310 there were engravingsH4734, and their bordersH4526 were squareH7251, not roundH5696. 32The fourH702 wheelsH212 were underneathH8478 the bordersH4526, and the axlesH3027 of the wheelsH212 were on the standH4350. And the heightH6967 of a wheelH212 was a cubitH520 and a halfH2677. 33The workmanshipH4639 of the wheelsH212 was like the workmanshipH4639 of a chariotH4818 wheelH212. Their axlesH3027, their rimsH1354, their spokesH2839, and their hubsH2840 were allH3605 castH3332. 34Now there were fourH702 supportsH3802 at the fourH702 cornersH6438 of eachH259 standH4350; its supportsH3802 were part of the standH4350 itself. 35On the topH7218 of the standH4350 there was a circularH5696 formH5439 halfH2677 a 5cubitH520 highH6967, and on the topH7218 of the standH4350 its 6staysH3027 and its bordersH4526 were partH4480 of it. 36He engravedH6605 on the platesH3871 of its staysH3027 and on its bordersH4526, cherubimH3742, lionsH738 and palmH8561 treesH8561, according to the clearH4626 spaceH4626 on eachH376, with wreathsH3914 all aroundH5439. 377He madeH6213 the tenH6235 standsH4350 like thisH2088: allH3605 of them had oneH259 castingH4165, oneH259 measureH4060 and oneH259 formH7095.

388He madeH6213 tenH6235 basinsH3595 of bronzeH5178, oneH259 basinH3595 heldH3557 fortyH705 bathsH1324; eachH259 basinH3595 was fourH702 cubitsH520, and on eachH259 of the tenH6235 standsH4350 was oneH259 basinH3595. 39Then he setH5414 the standsH4350, fiveH2568 on the rightH3225 sideH3802 of the houseH1004 and fiveH2568 on the leftH8040 sideH3802 of the houseH1004; and he setH5414 the seaH3220 of cast metal on the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004 eastwardH6924 towardH4480H4136 the southH5045.

40Now HiramH2438 madeH6213 the basinsH3595 and the shovelsH3257 and the bowlsH4219. So HiramH2438 finishedH3615 doingH6213 allH3605 the workH4399 whichH834 he performedH6213 for KingH4428 SolomonH8010 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068:
