1 Kings 7:36

34 Each stand had four handles, one for each corner, projecting from the stand.

35 At the top of each stand was a circular band half a cubit high. The supports and panels were cast as a unit with the top of the stand.

He engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees on the surfaces of the supports and panels, wherever each had space, with wreaths all around.

37 In this way he made the ten stands, each with the same casting, dimensions, and shape.

38 He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths and measuring four cubits across, one basin for each of the ten stands.
