1 Kings 7:27-37
27He also made ten bronze movable stands. Each stand was six feet long, six feet wide, and four-and-a-half feet high.
28The stands were constructed with frames between the joints.
29On these frames and joints were ornamental lions, bulls, and cherubs. Under the lions and bulls were decorative wreaths.
30Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles and four supports. Under the basin the supports were fashioned on each side with wreaths.
31Inside the stand was a round opening that was a foot-and-a-half deep; it had a support that was two and one-quarter feet long. On the edge of the opening were carvings in square frames.
32The four wheels were under the frames and the crossbars of the axles were connected to the stand. Each wheel was two and one-quarter feet high.
33The wheels were constructed like chariot wheels; their crossbars, rims, spokes, and hubs were made of cast metal.
34Each stand had four supports, one per side projecting out from the stand.
35On top of each stand was a round opening three-quarters of a foot deep; there were also supports and frames on top of the stands.
36He engraved ornamental cherubs, lions, and palm trees on the plates of the supports and frames wherever there was room, with wreaths all around.
37He made the ten stands in this way. All of them were cast in one mold and were identical in measurements and shape.
