25. The bowl itself sat on top of twelve bronze bulls with three bulls facing outwards in each of four directions.
26. The sides of the bowl were seventy-five millimetres thick, and its rim was like a cup that curved outwards like flower petals. The bowl held about forty thousand litres.
27. Hiram made ten moveable bronze stands, each one over a metre high, almost two metres long, and almost two metres wide.
28-29. The sides were made with panels attached to frames decorated with flower designs. The panels themselves were decorated with figures of lions, bulls, and winged creatures.
30-31. Each stand had four bronze wheels and axles and a round frame sixty-eight centimetres across, held up by four supports forty-five centimetres high. A small bowl rested in the frame. The supports were decorated with flower designs, and the frame with carvings.The side panels of the stands were square,
32. and the wheels and axles were underneath them. The wheels were about sixty-eight centimetres high
33. and looked like chariot wheels. The axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were made out of bronze.
34-35. Around the top of each stand was a twenty-two-centimetre strip, and there were four braces attached to the corners of each stand. The panels and the supports were attached to the stands,
36. and the stands were decorated with flower designs and figures of lions, palm trees, and winged creatures.
37. Hiram made the ten bronze stands from the same mould, so they were exactly the same size and shape.
38. Hiram also made ten small bronze bowls, one for each stand. The bowls were almost two metres across and could hold about eight hundred litres.
39. He put five stands on the south side of the temple, five stands on the north side, and the large bowl at the south-east corner of the temple.
40. Hiram made pans for hot ashes, and also shovels and sprinkling bowls.This is a list of the bronze items that Hiram made for the Lord's temple:
41. two columns; two bowl-shaped caps for the tops of the columns; two chain designs on the caps;
42. four hundred pomegranates for the chain designs;
43. ten moveable stands; ten small bowls for the stands;
44. a large bowl; twelve bulls that held up the bowl;
45. pans for hot ashes, and also shovels and sprinkling bowls.Hiram made these bronze things for Solomon
46. near the River Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan by pouring melted bronze into clay moulds.
47. There were so many bronze things that Solomon never bothered to weigh them, and no one ever knew how much bronze was used.
