The Bronze Carts (1KI 7:27-39)

[7:27] Huram also made ten bronze carts; each was 6 feet long, 6 feet wide, and 4½ feet high.

[7:28] They were made of square panels which were set in frames,

[7:29] with the figures of lions, bulls, and winged creatures on the panels; and on the frames, above and underneath the lions and bulls, there were spiral figures in relief.

[7:30] Each cart had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. At the four corners were bronze supports for a basin; the supports were decorated with spiral figures in relief.

[7:31] There was a circular frame on top for the basin. It projected upward 18 inches from the top of the cart and 7 inches down into it. It had carvings around it.

[7:32] The wheels were 25 inches high; they were under the panels, and the axles were of one piece with the carts.

[7:33] The wheels were like chariot wheels; their axles, rims, spokes, and hubs were all of bronze.

[7:34] There were four supports at the bottom corners of each cart, which were of one piece with the cart.

[7:35] There was a 9-inch band around the top of each cart; its supports and the panels were of one piece with the cart.

[7:36] The supports and panels were decorated with figures of winged creatures, lions, and palm trees, wherever there was space for them, with spiral figures all around.

[7:37] This, then, is how the carts were made; they were all alike, having the same size and shape.

[7:38] Huram also made ten basins, one for each cart. Each basin was 6 feet in diameter and held 200 gallons.

[7:39] He placed five of the carts on the south side of the Temple, and the other five on the north side; the tank he placed at the southeast corner.
