So the workH4399 of the pillarsH5982 was finishedH8552.
2317He also madeH6213 the 18SeaH3220 of 19castH3332 metal 20tenH6235 cubitsH520 from brimH8193 to brimH8193, circularH5696H5439 in shape, and its heightH6967 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, and 21it was 22thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 in circumferenceH6961H5437H5439. 24UnderH8478 its brimH8193 23gourdsH6497 went aroundH5439 encirclingH5437 it tenH6235 to a cubitH520, 24completelyH5439 surroundingH5362 the SeaH3220; the gourdsH6497 were in twoH8147 rowsH2905, castH3332 25with the restH3333. 2526It was standingH5975 on twelveH8147H6240 oxenH1241, threeH7969 facingH6437 northH6828, threeH7969 facingH6437 westH3220, threeH7969 facingH6437 southH5045, and threeH7969 facingH6437 eastH4217; and the SeaH3220 was set on topH4605 of them, and allH3605 their rearH268 partsH268 turned inwardH1004. 26And it was a 27handH2947 widthH2947 thickH5672, and its brimH8193 was madeH4639 like the brimH8193 of a cupH3563, like a lilyH7799 blossomH6525; it could holdH3557 28two thousandH505 bathsH1324.
