36. On the plates of its supports, and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, each in its space, with wreaths all around.
37. He made the ten bases in this way: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.
38. He made ten basins of brass. One basin contained forty baths; and every basin was four cubits; and on every one of the ten bases one basin.
39. He set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house. He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward and toward the south.
40. Hiram made the basins, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in Yahweh’s house:
41. the two pillars; the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
42. the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
43. the ten bases; the ten basins on the bases;
44. the one sea; the twelve oxen under the sea;
45. the pots; the shovels; and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in Yahweh’s house, were of burnished brass.
46. The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
47. Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them. The weight of the brass could not be determined.
