New Century Version

1 Kings 7:26-33 New Century Version (NCV)

26. The sides of the bowl were four inches thick, and it held about eleven thousand gallons. The rim of the bowl was like the rim of a cup or like a lily blossom.

27. Then Huram made ten bronze stands, each one six feet long, six feet wide, and four and one-half feet high.

28. The stands were made from square sides, which were put on frames.

29. On the sides were bronze lions, bulls, and creatures with wings. On the frames above and below the lions and bulls were designs of flowers hammered into the bronze.

30. Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. At the corners there were bronze supports for a large bowl, and the supports had designs of flowers.

31. There was a frame on top of the bowls, eighteen inches high above the bowls. The opening of the bowl was round, twenty-seven inches deep. Designs were carved into the bronze on the frame, which was square, not round.

32. The four wheels, placed under the frame, were twenty-seven inches high. The axles between the wheels were made as one piece with the stand.

33. The wheels were like a chariot’s wheels. Everything on the wheels—the axles, rims, spokes, and hubs—were made of bronze.
