1 He made a bronze altar, 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 15 feet high.

2 He also made the big bronze basin called |The Sea.| It measured 15 feet from rim to rim, was circular in shape, and stood seven and one-half feet high. Its circumference was 45 feet.

3 Images of bulls were under it all the way around, ten every eighteen inches all the way around. The bulls were in two rows and had been cast with |The Sea.|

4 The Sea| stood on top of twelve bulls. Three faced northward, three westward, three southward, and three eastward. |The Sea| was placed on top of them, and they all faced outward.

5 It was four fingers thick and its rim was like that of a cup shaped like a lily blossom. It could hold 18,000 gallons.
