New Testament

1 Kings 7:33-46 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

33. The wheels were made like chariot wheels; the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were all of cast metal.

34. Each stand had four handles, one on each corner, projecting from the stand.

35. At the top of the stand there was a circular band half a cubit deep. The supports and panels were attached to the top of the stand.

36. He engraved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and on the panels, in every available space, with wreaths all around.

37. This is the way he made the ten stands. They were all cast in the same moulds and were identical in size and shape.

38. He then made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin to go on each of the ten stands.

39. He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north. He placed the Sea on the south side, at the south-east corner of the temple.

40. He also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls.So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the Lord:

41. the two pillars;the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

42. the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);

43. the ten stands with their ten basins;

44. the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

45. the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.All these objects that Huram made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of burnished bronze.

46. The king had them cast in clay moulds in the plain of the Jordan between Sukkoth and Zarethan.
