1 Kings 7:37 In-Context

35 At the top of the stand there was a round band. It was nine inches deep. The sides and supports were connected to the top of the stand.

36 Huram carved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the sides of the stands. He also carved them on the surfaces of the supports. His carving covered every open space. He had also carved wreaths all around.

37 That's how he made the ten stands. All of them were made in the same molds. And they had the same size and shape.

38 Then Huram made ten bronze bowls. Each one held 230 gallons. The bowls measured six feet across. There was one bowl for each of the ten stands.

39 He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple. He placed the other five on the north side. He put the huge bowl on the south side. It was at the southeast corner of the temple.
