1 And he will make an altar of brass, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height. 2 And he will make the molten sea ten by the cubit from its lip to its lip, rounded round about; and five by the cubit its height; and a cord thirty by the cubit will surround it round about. 3 And a likeness of oxen underneath to it round about, round about, surrounding it: ten by the cubit going round the sea, round about. Two rows of oxen being cast in its casting. 4 Standing upon twelve oxen, three looking to the north, and three looking to the sea, and three looking to the south, and three looking to the sunrising: and the sea upon them from above, and all their back parts within. 5 And its thickness a hand breadth, and its lip according to the work of the lip of a cup, a lily flower holding; it will contain three thousand baths. 6 And he will make ten wash-basins, and give five from the right, and five from the left, to wash in them: the work of the burnt-offering they will cleanse in them; and the sea for the priests to wash in it. 7 And he will make ten chandeliers of gold according to their judgment, and give in the temple, five from the right, and five from the left. 8 And he will make ten tables and put in the temple, five from the right, and five from the left And he will make a hundred vases of gold. 2 Chronicles 4:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation.
