Then ^(C1)he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was ^(F1)four cubits, its width four cubits, and its height was three cubits.

This was the design of the stands: they had borders, that is, borders between the crossbars,

and on the borders which were between the crossbars were lions, oxen, and cherubim; and on the crossbars there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side.

And its opening inside the crown at the top was a ^(F1)cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and on its opening also there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round.

The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half.

The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast.

Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself.

And on the top of the stand there was a circular form ^(F1)half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its ^(F2)stays and its borders were part of it.

And he engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders cherubim, lions, and palm trees, as there was clear space on each, with wreaths all around.

^(C1)He made the ten stands like this: all of them had the ^(F1)same casting, ^(F1)same measure, and ^(F1)same form.
