28 And this [was] [the] work of the stand rims [belonged] to them and rims [were] between the cross bars.

And the work of the bases was on this manner: They had panels, and there were panels between the ledges.

35 And at [the] top of the stand half of cubit height round - all around and [were] on [the] top of the stand hands its and rims its [were] from it.

And in the top of the base there was a round band half a cubit high. And on the top of the base the ledges of it and the panels of it were of the same.

And on the plates of the ledges of it, and on the panels of it, he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths round about.

37 Like this he made [the] ten the stands a casting one a measurement one a shape one for all of them.

After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one form.

38 And he made ten lavers bronze forty bath[s] it contained - the laver one [was] four by the cubit the laver one a laver one [was] on the stand one for [the] ten the stands.

And he made ten basins of brass. One basin contained forty baths. And every basin was four cubits. And upon every one of the ten bases one basin.
