28
And the work of the bases was like this: they had borders, and the borders
were between mouldings;
29
and upon the borders that
were between the mouldings
were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and upon the mouldings of the base, above and beneath the lions and oxen
were certain additions made of bevelled work.
30
And each base had four brasen wheels and cardinals {hinged axles} of brass, and in its four corners it had shoulderpieces, which were molten at the side of each addition, to be under the laver.
31
Its mouth entered into the chapiter
(in the joint that came out of the base) one cubit above, and its mouth was rounded like the workmanship
(of the same joint) in the base, of a cubit and a half. There were also engravings upon the mouth of it with their borders, which were square, not round.
32
And under the borders
were the four wheels, and the axletrees of the wheels
came forth from the same base. The height of each wheel
was one and a half cubits.
33
And the workmanship of the wheels
was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel, their axletrees and their rims and their spokes and their hubs
were all molten.
34
Likewise, the four shoulderpieces to the four corners of each base,
and the shoulderpieces
were of the very base itself.
35
And in the top of the base
there was a rounded compass of half a cubit high and on the top of the base, its mouldings and borders
which were part of it.
36
For on the tables of the mouldings and on the borders thereof, he made cherubim, lions, and palm trees, in front of the additions of each one round about.
37
After this
manner he made ten bases cast in the same manner, of the same size and of the same shape.
38
Then he also made ten lavers of brass; each laver contained forty baths,
and each laver measured four cubits;
and he set a laver upon each one of the ten bases.
