1 Kings 7:23-37

231He also made the 2Sea of 3cast metal 4ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in shape, and its height was five cubits, and 5it was 6thirty cubits in circumference. 24Under its brim 7gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, 8completely surrounding the Sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast 9with the rest. 2510It was standing on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the Sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. 26And it was a 11hand width thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it could hold 12two thousand baths.

27Then 13he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was 14four cubits, its width four cubits, and its height was three cubits. 28This was the design of the stands: they had borders, that is, borders between the crossbars, 29and on the borders which were between the crossbars were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the crossbars there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. 30Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. 31And its opening inside the crown at the top was a 15cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and on its opening also there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. 32The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. 33The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. 34Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. 35And on the top of the stand there was a circular form 16half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its 17stays and its borders were part of it. 36And he engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders cherubim, lions, and palm trees, as there was clear space on each, with wreaths all around. 3718He made the ten stands like this: all of them had the 19same casting, 20same measure, and 21same form.
