Key Passages

The opening to each stand inside the crown at the top was one cubit deep, with a round opening like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half wide. And around its opening were engravings, but the panels of the stands were square, not round.
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.
King Ahaz also cut off the frames of the movable stands and removed the bronze basin from each of them. He took down the Sea from the bronze oxen that were under it and put it on a stone base.
And make a rim around it a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim.
