1 Kings 7:19-26

New International Version

¹⁹ The capitals on top of the pillars in the portico were in the shape of lilies, four cubits^[a] high. ²⁰ On the capitals of both pillars, above the bowl-shaped part next to the network, were the two hundred pomegranates^(A) in rows all around. ²¹ He erected the pillars at the portico of the temple. The pillar to the south he named Jakin^[b] and the one to the north Boaz.^{[c](B) 22} The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars^(C) was completed.

²³ He made the Sea^(D) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line^(E) of thirty cubits^[d] to measure around it. ²⁴ Below the rim, gourds encircled it—ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.

²⁵ The Sea stood on twelve bulls,^(F) three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. ²⁶ It was a handbreadth^[e] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.^[f]
