1 Kings 7:22-24
Modern English Version
22 The tops of the pillars were in the shape of lilies. This completed the work on the pillars.
23 He made a cast metal sea, ten cubits from one side to the other. It was round and had a height of five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits[a] encircled it. 24 Under the brim all the way around there were gourds, ten in a cubit. When it was cast, the gourds were placed in two rows going all the way around it.

22 The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars(A) was completed.
23 He made the Sea(B) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line(C) 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.
