1 Kings 7:37 In-Context

35 In the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high; and on the top of the base its supports and its panels were the same.

36 On the plates of its supports and on its panels, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, each in its space, with wreaths all around.

37 He made the ten bases in this way: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.

38 He made ten basins of bronze. One basin contained forty baths. Every basin measured four cubits. One basin was on every one of the ten bases.

39 He set the bases, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house. He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward and toward the south.
