it held two thousand baths. <p><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>And he made the ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders; and there were borders between the stays; <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>and on the borders that were between the stays were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the stays it was in like manner above; and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>And every base had four brazen wheels, and axles of brass; and the four feet thereof had undersetters; beneath the laver were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the side of each. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>And the mouth of it within the crown and above was a cubit high; and the mouth thereof was round after the work of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also upon the mouth of it were gravings; and their borders were foursquare, not round. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-32.htm"><b>32</b></a></span>And the four wheels were underneath the borders; and the axletrees of the wheels were in the base; and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-33.htm"><b>33</b></a></span>And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel; their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-34.htm"><b>34</b></a></span>And there were four undersetters at the four corners of each base; the undersetters thereof were of one piece with the base itself. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-35.htm"><b>35</b></a></span>And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high; and on the top of the base the stays thereof and the borders thereof were of one piece therewith. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-36.htm"><b>36</b></a></span>And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubim, lions, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-37.htm"><b>37</b></a></span>After this manner he made the ten bases; all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form. <p><span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-38.htm"><b>38</b></a></span>And he made ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths; and every laver was four cubits; and upon every one of the ten bases one laver. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-39.htm"><b>39</b></a></span>And he set the bases, five on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house;

<span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-45.htm"><b>45</b></a></span>and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins; even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished brass. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-46.htm"><b>46</b></a></span>In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-47.htm"><b>47</b></a></span>And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many; the weight of the brass could not be found out. <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-48.htm"><b>48</b></a></span>And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold; <span class="reftext"><a href="/1_kings/7-49.htm"><b>49</b></a></span>and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the Sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
