1 Kings 7:22-24
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
22 And upon the tops of the pillars he made lily work: so the work of the pillars was finished.
23 He made also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; the height of it was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
24 And a graven work under the brim of it compassed it, for ten cubits going about the sea: there were two rows cast of chamfered sculptures.

1 Kings 7:22-24
New International Version
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.
