1 Kings 7:29-34 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

29. On the sides between the posts were lions, bulls and cherubim. They were also on all of the posts. Above and below the lions and bulls were wreaths that were made out of hammered metal.

30. Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. Each one had a bowl that rested on four supports. They had wreaths on each side.

31. There was a round opening on the inside of each stand. The opening had a frame that was 18 inches deep. The sides were 27 inches high from the top of the opening to the bottom of the base. There was carving around the opening. The sides of the stands were square, not round.

32. The four wheels were under the sides. The axles of the wheels were connected to the stand. Each wheel was 27 inches across.

33. The wheels were made like chariot wheels. All of the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were made out of metal.

34. Each stand had four handles on it. There was one on each corner. They came out from the stand.
