“And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges:”
“And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges; ”

And he made ten bases of brass: each base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in width, and three cubits in height.
And the work itself of the bases was engraved; and there were sculptures between the junctures.
And between the little crowns and the edges, there were lions, and oxen, and cherubim; and similarly in the junctures above. And under the lions and oxen were something like bands of brass hanging down.
And each base had four wheels, with axels of brass. And at the four sides were something like little arms, under the cast basin, facing away from one another.
Also, the mouth of the interior of the basin was at the top of the head. And what was visible outside was of one cubit all around, and altogether it had one cubit and a half. Now at the corners of the columns were diverse engravings. And the spaces between the columns were square, not round.
