1 Kings 7:25-34 God's Word Translation (GW)

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.
