Furnishings of the Temple
1 Moreover he made aa bronze altar: twenty cubits was its length, twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.
2 aThen he made the1 Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.
3 aAnd under it was the likeness of oxen encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The oxen were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
4 It stood on twelve aoxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward.
5 It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained1 three thousand baths.
6 He also made aten lavers, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they would wash in them, but the1 Sea was for the bpriests to wash in.
7 aAnd he made ten lampstands of gold baccording to their design, and set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left.
