2 Chronicles 4:1-5

Modern English Version

The Furnishings of the Temple^(A)

4 Then he made a bronze altar that was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits^[a] high. ² And he made a cast metal sea as a water basin. It was round and ten cubits from edge to edge, five cubits high,^[b] and a line of thirty cubits^[c] measured its circumference. ³ Figures like oxen were underneath it, going all the way around the sea basin, ten cubits^[d] on each side.^[e] There were two rows of oxen that were poured as cast metal.

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 their back sides were facing inward. ⁵ The thickness of the sea was a palm,^[f] and its brim was like the brim of a cup, as the flower of a lily. It held three thousand baths^[g] securely.
