231He also madeH6213 the 2SeaH3220 of 3castH3332 metal 4tenH6235 cubitsH520 from brimH8193 to brimH8193, circularH5696H5439 in shape, and its heightH6967 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, and 5it was 6thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 in circumferenceH6961H5437H5439. 24UnderH8478 its brimH8193 7gourdsH6497 went aroundH5439 encirclingH5437 it tenH6235 to a cubitH520, 8completelyH5439 surroundingH5362 the SeaH3220; the gourdsH6497 were in twoH8147 rowsH2905, castH3332 9with the restH3333. 2510It was standingH5975 on twelveH8147H6240 oxenH1241, threeH7969 facingH6437 northH6828, threeH7969 facingH6437 westH3220, threeH7969 facingH6437 southH5045, and threeH7969 facingH6437 eastH4217; and the SeaH3220 was set on topH4605 of them, and allH3605 their rearH268 partsH268 turned inwardH1004. 26And it was a 11handH2947 widthH2947 thickH5672, and its brimH8193 was madeH4639 like the brimH8193 of a cupH3563, like a lilyH7799 blossomH6525; it could holdH3557 12two thousandH505 bathsH1324.

27Then 13he madeH6213 the tenH6235 standsH4350 of bronzeH5178; the lengthH753 of eachH259 standH4350 was 14fourH702 cubitsH520, its widthH7341 fourH702 cubitsH520, and its heightH6967 was threeH7969 cubitsH520. 28ThisH2088 was the designH4639 of the standsH4350: they had bordersH4526, that is, bordersH4526 betweenH996 the crossbarsH7948, 29and on the bordersH4526 whichH834 were betweenH996 the crossbarsH7948 were lionsH738, oxenH1241, and cherubimH3742; and on the crossbarsH7948 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. 31And its openingH6310 insideH4480H1004 the crownH3805 at the topH4605 was a 15cubitH520, and its openingH6310 was roundH5696 like the designH4639 of a pedestalH3653, a cubitH520 and a halfH2677; and on its openingH6310 alsoH1571 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 partH4480 of the standH4350 itself. 35And on the topH7218 of the standH4350 there was a circularH5696H5439 form 16halfH2677 a cubitH520 highH6967, and on the topH7218 of the standH4350 its 17staysH3027 and its bordersH4526 were partH4480 of it. 36And he engravedH6605 on the platesH3871 of its staysH3027 and on its bordersH4526 cherubimH3742, lionsH738, and palmH8561 treesH8561, as there was clearH4626 spaceH4626 on eachH376, with wreathsH3914 all aroundH5439. 3718He madeH6213 the tenH6235 standsH4350 like thisH2088: allH3605 of them had the 19sameH259 castingH4165, 20sameH259 measureH4060, and 21sameH259 formH7095.
