1 Kings 7:23-26

231Now he made the sea of 2cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and 3thirty cubits in circumference. 24Under its brim 4gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, 5completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast 6with the rest. 257It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. 26It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths.
