1 Kings 7:23-39
23And he madeH6213 the molten seaH3220 of tenH6235 cubitsH520 from brim to brim, roundH5439 in compass, and the heightH6967 thereof was fiveH2568 cubitsH520; and a line of thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 compassed it roundH5439 about. 24And under the brim of it roundH5439 about there were knops which did compass it, for tenH6235 cubitsH520, compassing the seaH3220 roundH5439 about: the knops were in twoH8147 rowsH2905, castH3332 when it was castH3332. 25It stoodH5975 upon twelve oxenH1241, threeH7969 looking toward the northH6828, and threeH7969 looking toward the westH3220, and threeH7969 looking toward the southH5045, and threeH7969 looking toward the eastH4217; and the seaH3220 was setH5975 upon them above, and all their hinder partsH268 were inward. 26And it was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cupH3563, like the flower of a lilyH7799: it heldH3557 two thousandH505 bathsH1324.
27And he madeH6213 the tenH6235 bases of brass; fourH702 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 of oneH259 base, and fourH702 cubitsH520 the breadthH7341 thereof, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 the heightH6967 of it. 28And the workH4639 of the bases was on this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges; 29and on the panels that were between the ledges were lionsH738, oxenH1241, and cherubimH3742; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lionsH738 and oxenH1241 were wreaths of hanging workH4639. 30And every base had fourH702 brazen wheelsH212, and axles of brass; and the fourH702 feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laverH3595 were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the sideH3802 of each. 31And the mouthH6310 of it within the capitalH3805 and above was a cubitH520: and the mouthH6310 thereof was roundH5696 after the workH4639 of a pedestal, a cubitH520 and a halfH2677; and alsoH1571 upon the mouthH6310 of it were gravings, and their panels were foursquare, not roundH5696. 32And the fourH702 wheelsH212 were underneath the panels; and the axletrees of the wheelsH212 were in the base: and the heightH6967 of a wheelH212 was a cubitH520 and halfH2677 a cubitH520. 33And the workH4639 of the wheelsH212 was like the workH4639 of a chariotH4818 wheelH212: their axletrees, and their felloes, and their spokes, and their naves, were all molten. 34And there were fourH702 undersetters at the fourH702 cornersH6438 of each base: the undersetters thereof were of the base itself. 35And in the topH7218 of the base was there a roundH5439 compass halfH2677 a cubitH520 high; and on the topH7218 of the base the stays thereof and the panels thereof were of the same. 36And on the plates of the stays thereof, and on the panels thereof, he graved cherubimH3742, lionsH738, and palm-trees, according to the space of each, with wreaths roundH5439 about. 37After this manner he madeH6213 the tenH6235 bases: all of them had oneH259 castingH4165, oneH259 measure, and oneH259 form.
38And he madeH6213 tenH6235 lavers of brass: oneH259 laverH3595 contained fortyH705 bathsH1324; and every laverH3595 was fourH702 cubitsH520; and upon every oneH259 of the tenH6235 bases oneH259 laverH3595. 39And he setH5414 the bases, fiveH2568 on the rightH3225 sideH3802 of the houseH1004, and fiveH2568 on the left sideH3802 of the houseH1004: and he setH5414 the seaH3220 on the rightH3225 sideH3802 of the houseH1004 eastward, toward the southH5045.
