The Sea and the Oxen
23 And he made athe 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.
24 Below its brim were ornamental buds encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, aall the way around the Sea. The ornamental buds were cast in two rows when it was cast.
25 It stood on atwelve oxen: 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.
26 It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained1 two thousand baths.
The Carts and the Lavers
27 He also made ten1 carts of bronze; four cubits was the length of each cart, four cubits its width, and three cubits its height.
