Context of 1 Kings 7:36

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. He 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. 38He also made ten bronze basins, each of which could hold about 240 gallons. Each basin was six feet in diameter; there was one basin for each stand.
