1 Kings 7:23-26

New International Version

²³ He made the Sea^(A) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line^(B) of thirty cubits^[a] 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,^(C) 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^[b] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.^[c]
