1 Kings 7:23-25

Lexham English Bible

²³ He also made the molten^[a] sea, ten cubits in diameter,^[b] and five cubits was its height. A measuring line of thirty cubits would encircle it all around. ²⁴ Gourds were under its rim surrounding it all around; ten to the cubit, surrounding the sea all around with two rows of gourds, which were cast when he cast the metal. ²⁵ The sea was standing on twelve oxen, with three facing to the north, three facing to the west, three facing to the south, and three facing to the east. The sea was on top of them, with all of their hindquarters turned to the inside.
