27And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth of it, and three cubits the height of it. 28And the work of the bases was in this manner : they had borders, and the borders were between the frames: And on the borders that were between the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim: and upon the frames there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work. 30And every base had four brasen wheels, and axles of brass: and its four corners had supports: under the laver were molten supports at the side of every addition. 31And the mouth of it within the capital and above was a cubit: but the mouth of it was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were carvings with their borders, foursquare, not round.
