1 Kings 7:27–43

²⁷And he made ^rten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. ²⁸And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges: ²⁹And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges 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 plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition. ³¹And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round. ³²And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were ^†joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. ³³And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their ^snaves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten. ³⁴And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself. ³⁵And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same. ³⁶For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the ^†proportion of every one, and additions round about. ³⁷After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size. ³⁸Then ^tmade he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver. ³⁹And he put five bases on the right ^†side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and ^uhe set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.

^40vAnd ^†Hiram made the lavers, and ^wthe shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the Lord: ⁴¹The two pillars, and the two ^xbowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two ^ynetworks, to cover the two ^xbowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; ⁴²And ^zfour hundred pomegranates for the two ^ynetworks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two ^xbowls of the chapiters that were ^†upon the pillars; ⁴³And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases;
