2 Chronicles 4:2-5
21He also made the 2Sea of cast metal, 3ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was 4five cubits and 5its circumference 6thirty cubits.
3Now figures like oxen were under it and all around it, 7ten cubits, entirely encircling the Sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast 8in one piece.
4It 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 hindquarters turned inward.
5It was a 9hand width thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it 10could hold three thousand 11baths.
