2 Chronicles 4:2-5
English Standard Version Anglicised
2 (A)Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. 3 Under it were figures of gourds,[a] for ten cubits, compassing the sea all round. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast. 4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward. 5 Its thickness was a handbreadth.[b] And its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. (B)It held 3,000 baths.[c]
