7:27 The bronze basin holders

27Then Huram cast ten bronze carts for individual water basins. Each one was nearly two metres long and two metres wide and just over a metre tall, 28and they had frames on the sides with panels between them. 29There were bronze lions, oxen, and winged creatures in relief on the panels, and above and below those, wreaths were inset into the bronze. 30Each cart had two bronze axles with four bronze wheels attached to them. At each of the top four corners, there were bronze supports to hold a wash basin, and these were also cast with decorative wreaths. 31Inside those supports there was a round frame that protruded half a metre upwards and was inset by a quarter of a metre. It also had engravings on it inside square frames. 32The axles were part of the main casting, and the four 70cm bronze wheels were below the panels. 33The design of the wheels was similar to chariot wheels, but with their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs all cast from bronze. 34Each cart had four handles as part of the casting—one projecting from each corner. 35There was a 25cm bronze band around the top of each cart as well as supports and frames—all part of the main casting. 36He engraved winged creatures, lions, and palm trees on the flat areas of the carts wherever there was space, and engraved wreaths around them. 37So that’s how he made the ten carts—all the same shape and size using the same mold.

38Huram also cast ten bronze wash basins for the ten carts—each one was almost two metres across and could hold 900 litres of water.[ref] 39He put five basins on carts on each side of the temple (north and south of the east-facing temple), and he put the huge basin on its bronze cattle near the south-east corner. 40Huram also made the basins and the ash shovels and the bowls.
