1. Then he made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.
2. He also made the molten sea. It was made with a circular rim, and measured ten cubits across, five in height, and thirty in circumference.
3. Under the brim a ring of figures of oxen encircled it for ten cubits, all the way around the compass of the sea; there were two rows of oxen cast in one mold with the sea.
4. This rested on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east, with their haunches all toward the center; upon them was set the sea.
5. It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim resembled that of a cup, being lily-shaped. It had a capacity of three thousand baths.
6. Then he made ten basins for washing, placing five of them to the right and five to the left. In these the victims for the burnt offerings were washed; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7. He made the menorahs of gold, ten of them as was prescribed, and placed them in the nave, five to the right and five to the left.
8. He made ten tables and had them set in the nave, five to the right and five to the left; and he made a hundred golden bowls.
9. He made the court of the priests and the great courtyard and the gates of the courtyard; the gates he covered with bronze.
10. The sea he placed off to the southeast from the south side of the house.
