24. Under the rim were two rows of gourds all around the 45-foot circumference of the pool. They were cast in metal when the pool was cast.
25. The pool was set on 12 metal bulls. Three bulls faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east. The pool was set on them, and their hindquarters were toward the center ⌊of the pool⌋.
26. The pool was three inches thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup, shaped like a lily’s bud. It held 12,000 gallons.
27. He made ten bronze stands. Each stand was 6 feet square and 4½ feet high.
28. The stands were made this way: They had side panels set in frames.
29. On the panels set in frames were lions, oxen, and angels. These were also on the frames. Above and below the lions and the cattle were engraved designs.
30. Each stand had four bronze wheels on bronze axles and four supports beneath the basin. The supports were made of cast metal with designs on the sides.
31. Each had a 1½-foot-deep opening in the center to the circular frame on top. The opening was round, formed like a pedestal, and was two feet ⌊wide⌋. Around the opening there were engravings. But the panels were square, not round.
32. The four wheels were under the panels, and the axles were attached to the stand. Each wheel was two feet high.
33. The wheels were made like chariot wheels. The axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all cast metal.
34. The four supports at the four corners of each stand were part of the stand.
35. The top of each stand had a round, nine-inch-high band. Above the stand were supports which were part of the panels.
36. Hiram engraved angels, lions, palm trees, and designs in every available space on the supports and panels.
37. This is the way he made the ten stands. All of them were cast in the same mold, identical in size and shape.
38. Hiram also made ten bronze basins. Each basin held 240 gallons. Every basin was six feet ⌊wide⌋. There was one basin on each of the ten stands.
39. He put five stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north side of the temple. He set the pool on the south side of the temple in the southeast ⌊corner⌋.
40. Hiram also made pots, shovels, and bowls.So Hiram finished all the work for King Solomon on the Lord’s temple:
41. 2 pillars, the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the 2 pillars, and 2 sets of filigree to cover the 2 bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars,
42. 400 pomegranates for the 2 sets of filigree (2 rows of pomegranates for each filigree to cover the 2 bowl-shaped capitals on the pillars),
