1 Kings 7:29-33 ▼

29 and on the frames between the cross-pieces were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the cross-pieces there was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

30 Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. Underneath the four corners of the basin were cast supports, each next to a wreath.

31 And the water cart’s opening inside the crown on top was eighteen inches wide. The opening was round, made as a pedestal twenty-seven inches wide. On it were carvings, but their frames were square, not round.

32 There were four wheels under the frames, and the wheel axles were part of the water cart; each wheel was twenty-seven inches tall.

33 The wheels’ design was similar to that of chariot wheels: their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of cast metal.
