1 Kings 7:23-25

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Sea

²³ He made the sea of cast metal. It was round, fifteen feet from rim to rim. It was seven and a half feet high. Its circumference was forty-five feet. ²⁴ Under its rim all the way around there were round, gourd-shaped ornaments, one every two inches, all the way around the sea.^[a] The ornaments were in two rows, cast as one piece with the sea. ²⁵ The sea stood on twelve cattle, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them. All their hindquarters faced toward the center of the sea.
