New American Standard Bible 1995

Furnishings of the Temple

4 Then ^(A)he made a bronze altar, twenty cubits in length and twenty cubits in width and ten cubits in height. ^2 (B)Also he made the cast metal sea, ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits and ^[a]its circumference thirty cubits. ³ Now figures like oxen were under it and all around it, ten cubits, entirely encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast ^[b]in one piece. ⁴ It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them and all their hindquarters turned inwards. ⁵ It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it ^(C)could hold 3,000 baths.
