Then he made the ten stands of bronze;
the length of each stand was four
cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits. |
| 28 |
This was the design of the stands: they had
borders, even borders between
the frames, |
| 29 |
and on the borders which were between the
frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a
pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. |
| 30 |
Now each stand had four bronze wheels
with bronze axles, and
its four feet had supports;
beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. |
| 31 |
Its opening inside the crown at the top
was a cubit, and its
opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a
cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings,
and their borders were square, not round. |
| 32 |
The four wheels were underneath the
borders, and the axles of the wheels
were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. |
| 33 |
The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel.
Their axles, their rims,
their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. |
| 34 |
Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand;
its supports were part of the stand itself. |
| 35 |
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. |
| 36 |
He engraved on the plates of its stays
and on its borders, cherubim, lions
and palm trees, according to the clear space on each,
with wreaths all around. |
| 37 |
He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure
and one form. |
| 38 |
He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths;
each basin was four cubits,
and on each of the ten stands was one basin. |
