^2 (A)Then he made the ^[a]Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

^13 (A)The bronze ^(B)pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and ^(C)the carts and ^(D)the bronze Sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and ^(E)carried their bronze to Babylon.

^17 (A)The ^(B)bronze pillars that were in the house of the Lord, and the carts and the bronze Sea that were in the house of the Lord, the Chaldeans broke in pieces, and carried all their bronze to Babylon.

²⁰ The two pillars, one Sea, the twelve bronze bulls which were under it, and the carts, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord—^(A)the bronze of all these articles was beyond measure.

⁸ Also from ^[a]Tibhath and from ^[b]Chun, cities of ^[c]Hadadezer, David brought a large amount of ^(A)bronze, with which ^(B)Solomon made the bronze ^[d]Sea, the pillars, and the articles of bronze.

Making the Bronze Laver

⁸ He made ^(A)the laver of bronze and its base of bronze, from the bronze mirrors of the serving women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

^18 (A)“You shall also make a ^[a]laver of bronze, with its base also of bronze, for washing. You shall ^(B)put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar. And you shall put water in it, ¹⁹ for Aaron and his sons ^(C)shall wash their hands and their feet in water from it. ²⁰ When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to the Lord, they shall wash with water, lest they die. ²¹ So they shall wash their hands and their feet, lest they die. And ^(D)it shall be a ^[b]statute forever to them—to him and his descendants throughout their generations.”

^17 (A)And King Ahaz cut off ^(B)the panels of the carts, and removed the lavers from them; and he took down ^(C)the Sea from the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stones.
