37 1He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form.
38 2He 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 3two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;
42 and the 4four 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 5the one sea and the twelve * oxen under the sea;
45 and 6the 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.
46 7In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between 8Succoth and 9Zarethan.
47 Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; 10the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.
