All around the outer edge of the rim of the tank were two rows of bronze gourds, which had been cast all in one piece with the rest of the tank.
25
The tank rested on the backs of twelve bronze bulls that faced outward, three facing in each direction.
26
The sides of the tank were 3 inches thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup, curving outward like the petals of a lily. The tank held about 10,000 gallons.
27
Huram also made ten bronze carts; each was 6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4 1/2 feet high.
28
They were made of square panels which were set in frames,
29
with the figures of lions, bulls, and winged creatures on the panels; and on the frames, above and underneath the lions and bulls, there were spiral figures in relief.
30
Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. At the four corners were bronze supports for a basin; the supports were decorated with spiral figures in relief.
31
There was a circular frame on top for the basin. It projected upward 18 inches from the top of the cart and 7 inches down into it. It had carvings around it.
32
The wheels were 25 inches high; they were under the panels, and the axles were of one piece with the carts.
33
The wheels were like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of bronze.
34
There were four supports at the bottom corners of each cart, which were of one piece with the cart.
