    25 The basin rested on twelve bronze oxen, three facing north, three west, three south, and three east; the basin sat on their backs, and all their hind parts were turned inward.

    26 The thickness of the basin was a handbreadth, and its rim was fashioned like the rim of a cup, resembling a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.

    27 He made ten bronze stands, each four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.

    28 This is how the stands were constructed: they had panels enclosed within frames.

    29 On the panels between the frames were lions, oxen, and cherubim. Above and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of beveled work.

    30 Each stand had four bronze wheels with axles and supports. Its wash basin rested on cast supports attached with wreaths on each side.

    31 The opening of the stand, from inside the capital upwards, was one cubit. Its opening was round, shaped like a pedestal, measuring a cubit and a half. Around its opening were carvings, and its frames were square, not circular.

    32 The four wheels were under the frames, and the axles of the wheels were attached to the stand. Each wheel was one and a half cubits high.

    33 The workmanship of the wheels was like that of a chariot wheel; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal.
