2 Chronicles 4:3-5
Modern English Version
3 Figures like oxen were underneath it, going all the way around the sea basin, ten cubits[a] on each side.[b] There were two rows of oxen that were poured as cast metal.
4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and their back sides were facing inward. 5 The thickness of the sea was a palm,[c] and its brim was like the brim of a cup, as the flower of a lily. It held three thousand baths[d] securely.
