New Testament

1 Kings 7:33-45 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

33. 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.

34. Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself.

35. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it.

36. He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around.

37. He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form.

38. He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin.

39. Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.

40. Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the Lord:

41. the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;

42. and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars;

43. and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands;

44. and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea;

45. and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were of polished bronze.
