2 Chronicles 4:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Under the rim were two rows of oxlike figures completely encircling it, ten every eighteen inches, each cast in its mold. ⁴ The Sea rested on twelve oxen with their backs toward the center, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. ⁵ The Sea was as thick as the width of a hand. Its rim was shaped like a cup or an open lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.^[a]
