1 Kings 7:22-24

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² And upon the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished.

²³ Then he made the molten sea; it was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. ²⁴ Under its brim were gourds, for thirty^[a] cubits, compassing the sea round about; the gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast.
