The molten sea
1 Kings 7:23-26
23And he made the Sea of cast metal, ten cubits from its rim to its rim, round all around, and five cubits its height; and a line of thirty cubits went around it all around. 24And gourds below its rim all around surrounded it, ten to the cubit, encircling the Sea all around; the gourds were in two rows, cast in its casting. 25It stood on twelve oxen: three facing north, and three facing west, and three facing south, and three facing east; and the Sea was on them above, and all their hindquarters were inward. 26And its thickness was a handbreadth, and its rim like the work of the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it held two thousand baths.
2He made the Sea of cast metal, ten cubits from its rim to its rim, round all around, and five cubits its height, and a line of thirty cubits went around it all around. 3Under it were figures of oxen all around, encircling it, ten to a cubit, surrounding the Sea all around; the oxen were in two rows, cast in its casting. 4It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; the Sea was upon them, above, and all their hindquarters were inward. 5Its thickness was a handbreadth, and its rim was like the work of the rim of a cup, a lily flower; it took in and held three thousand baths.
