First Kings 7:29

And on the sides, between the corners, there were [decorations of] lions, oxen, and cherubim, and at the corners, both above and below the lions and oxen, there were decorated hanging wreaths (literally: "wreaths designed to hang").
[The commandment not to make any graven image (Ex. 20:3–5) has influenced Jewish art throughout the ages. It is easy to distinguish Jewish mosaics, decorations, and patterns because they never depict people or animals. Instead, they feature ornaments, flowers, and plants. In the instructions for the tabernacle and its furnishings given by Moses in Ex. 30:17, there is no mention of lions and oxen for these stands (see also verse 36). It is possible that this was Hiram's idea. Solomon and his advisors must have known the commandments, but perhaps reasoned that these foundations were not objects of worship in themselves and gave their approval. In Deut. 17:14–20, five requirements for a king are given. Later in his life, Solomon did the opposite on several of these points, see 1 Kings 11:1–12.]
