1 Kings 7:23-26
231He also made the 2Sea of 3cast metal 4ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in shape, and its height was five cubits, and 5it was 6thirty cubits in circumference. 24Under its brim 7gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, 8completely surrounding the Sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast 9with the rest. 2510It was standing 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. 26And it was a 11hand width thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it could hold 12two thousand baths.
