2 Chronicles 4:2-4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

² Then he made the molten sea; 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 thirty^[b] cubits, compassing the sea round about; the gourds^[c] were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast. ⁴ It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; the sea was set upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
