Context of 1 Kings 7:36

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 half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it. And 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. 37He made the ten stands like this: all of them had the same casting, same measure, and same form. 38And he made ten basins of bronze, each holding forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin.
