1 Kings 7:23-37
23And he madeH6213 the seaH3220, molten, tenH6235 cubitsH520 from brim to brim, roundH5439 all about; and its heightH6967 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520; and a line of thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 encompassed it roundH5439 about.
24And under the brim of it roundH5439 about there were colocynths, encompassing it, tenH6235 in a cubitH520 enclosing the seaH3220 roundH5439 about; twoH8147 rowsH2905 of colocynths, 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 above upon them, and all their hinder partsH268 were inward.
26And its thicknessH5672 was a hand-breadth, and its brim was like the workH4639 of the brim of a cupH3563, with lily-blossoms; it heldH3557 two thousandH505 bathsH1324.
27And he madeH6213 tenH6235 bases of brass: fourH702 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 of oneH259 base, and the breadthH7341 fourH702 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 threeH7969 cubitsH520.
28And the workH4639 of the bases was this: they had panels, and the panels were between the fillets.
29And on the panels that were between the fillets were lionsH738, oxenH1241 and cherubimH3742; and over the fillets there was a baseH3653 above; and beneath the lionsH738 and oxenH1241 were garlands of festoon-work.
30And every base had fourH702 wheelsH212 of brass, and axles of brass; and on its fourH702 corners were shoulder-pieces: under the laverH3595 were shoulder-pieces molten, behind every garland.
31And the mouthH6310 of it within the crown and above was a cubitH520; and its mouthH6310 was rounded, [as] the workH4639 of the baseH3653, a cubitH520 and a halfH2677; and alsoH1571 upon its mouthH6310 was sculpture; but their panels were squareH7251, not roundH5696.
32And the fourH702 wheelsH212 were under the panels; and the supports 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 supports, and their rimsH1354, and their spokes and their naves were all molten.
34And there were fourH702 shoulder-pieces to the fourH702 cornersH6438 of oneH259 base; of the base itself were its shoulder-pieces.
35And in the topH7218 of the base there was a circular elevation of halfH2677 a cubitH520 roundH5439 about; and on the topH7218 of the base its stays and its panels were of the same.
36And he engravedH6605 on the plates of its stays and on its panels cherubimH3742, lionsH738 and palm-trees, according to the space upon each; and garlands were roundH5439 about.
37After this [manner] he madeH6213 the tenH6235 bases: all of them had oneH259 castingH4165, oneH259 measure, oneH259 form.
