1. ALSO SOLOMON made an altar of bronze, its top twenty by twenty cubits and its height ten cubits.
2. Also he made a round Sea of molten metal, ten cubits from brim to brim and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured around it.
3. Under it were figures of oxen encircling it, ten to a cubit. The oxen were in two rows, cast in one piece with it.
4. It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking north, three west, three south, three east; and the Sea rested upon them, and all their hind parts were inward.
5. Its thickness was a handbreadth; its brim was like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held 3,000 baths (measures).
