Huram also made ten stands out of bronze. They could be moved around. Each stand was six feet long. It was six feet wide. And it was four and a half feet high.Here is how the stands were made. They had sides that were joined to posts.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 made out of hammered metal.Each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles. Each stand had a bowl that rested on four supports. The stand had wreaths on each side.There was a round opening on the inside of each stand. The opening had a frame 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.The four wheels were under the sides. The axles of the wheels were connected to the stand. Each wheel was 27 inches across.The wheels were made like chariot wheels. All the axles, rims, spokes and hubs were made out of metal.Each stand had four handles on it. There was one on each corner. They came out from the stand.At the top of the stand there was a round band. It was nine inches deep. The sides and supports were connected to the top of the stand.Huram carved cherubim, lions and palm trees on the sides of the stands. He also carved them on the surfaces of the supports. His carving covered every open space. He had also carved wreaths all around.That’s how he made the ten stands. All of them were made in the same molds. And they had the same size and shape.Then Huram made ten bronze bowls. Each one held 240 gallons. The bowls measured six feet across. There was one bowl for each of the ten stands.He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple. He placed the other five on the north side. He put the huge bowl on the south side. It was at the southeast corner of the temple.He also made the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished all the work he had started for King Solomon. Here’s what he made for the Lord’ s temple.He made the two pillars. He made the two tops for the pillars. The tops were shaped like bowls. He made the two sets of chains that were linked together. They decorated the two bowl- shaped tops of the pillars.He made the 400 pomegranates for the two sets of chains. There were two rows of pomegranates for each chain. They decorated the bowl- shaped tops of the pillars.He made the ten stands with their ten bowls.
