27 And he will make ten bases of brass, four by the cubit the length of the one base, and four by the cubit its breadth, and three by the cubit its height. 28 And this the work of the base: borders to them, and borders between the joinings: 29 And upon the borders which were between the joinings, lions, oxen, and cherubs: and upon the joinings thus from above: and from beneath to the lions and to the oxen, wreaths, a work of descent. 30 And four wheels of brass to the one base, and axles of brass: and its four steps, shoulders to them: from under to the wash basin the shoulders molten from beyond each of the wreaths. 31 And its mouth from within to the crown and from above, by the cubit: and the mouth, round; the work thus a cubit and half a cubit: and also upon the mouth engravings and their borders, quadrated, not round. 32 And four wheels beneath to the borders; and hands of the wheels in the base: and the height of the one wheel a cubit and half of the cubit. 33 And the work of the wheels as the work of a wheel of the chariot: their hands and their backs and their joinings and their gatherings all cast. 34 And four shoulders to four corners of the one base: from the base its shoulder. 35 And in the head of the base its height, half a cubit rounded round about: and upon the head of the base its hands and its borders from out of it. 36 And he will open, upon the cheeks of its hands and upon its borders, cherubs, lions, and palm-trees, according to the nakedness of each, and wreaths round about. 37 According to this he made the ten bases, one casting, one measure, one form to all of them. 38 And he will make ten wash-basins of brass: the one wash-basin will hold forty baths, four by the cubit the one wash-basin, the one wash-basin upon the one base to the ten bases. 39 And he will give five bases upon the shoulder of the house from the right, and five upon the shoulder of the house from its left: and he gave the sea from the shoulder of the house to the right to the east over against the south. 1 Kings 7:27-39, Smith's Literal Translation.
