    26And it was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; it contained two thousand baths.

    27And he made ten bases of bronze; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.

    28And the workmanship of the bases was as follows: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges.

    29And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the ledges there was a base above, and beneath the lions and oxen were additions of thin work.

    30And each base had four bronze wheels and plates of bronze, and the four corners had supports; the supports were molten beneath the lavers, at the side of each addition.

    31And the opening in the top of the base was within the capital and above one cubit; but the mouth was round after the shape of the base, a cubit and a half; and there were engravings with their borders, square, not round.

    32And the four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were joined to the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

    33And 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.

    34And there were four supports at the four corners of each base; the supports themselves were part of the base.

    35And on the top of the base was a circular piece half a cubit high; and on the top of the base, its ledges and its borders were part of it.

    36On the plates of its ledges and on its borders, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the open space on each, with wreaths all around.

    37Thus he made the ten bases; all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size.

    38Then he made ten bronze lavers; each laver held forty baths, each laver was four cubits; on each 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 he set the sea on the right side of the house, eastward, toward the south.
