1 Kings 7:37 In-Context

35 On the top of the stand there was a round band half a cubit high; on the top of the stand, its stays and its borders were of one piece with it.

36 On the surfaces of its stays and on its borders he carved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, where each had space, with wreaths all around.

37 In this way he made the ten stands; all of them were cast alike, with the same size and the same form.

38 He made ten basins of bronze; each basin held forty baths, each basin measured four cubits; there was a basin for each of the ten stands.

39 He set five of the stands on the south side of the house, and five on the north side of the house; he set the sea on the southeast corner of the house.
