1. ALSO SOLOMON made an altar of bronze, its top twenty by twenty cubits and its height ten cubits.
2. Also he made a round Sea of molten metal, ten cubits from brim to brim and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured around it.
3. Under it were figures of oxen encircling it, ten to a cubit. The oxen were in two rows, cast in one piece with it.
4. It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking north, three west, three south, three east; and the Sea rested upon them, and all their hind parts were inward.
5. Its thickness was a handbreadth; its brim was like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held 3,000 baths (measures).
6. He made also ten lavers in which to wash and put five on the right (south) side and five on the left (north). Such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them, but the Sea was for the priests to wash in.
7. And he made ten golden lampstands as directed and set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left.
