2 (A)He also made the [a]Sea of cast metal, [b]ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was [c]five cubits and [d]its circumference [e]thirty cubits. 3 Now figures like oxen were under it and all around it, [f]ten cubits, entirely encircling the Sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast [g]in one piece. 4 It 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.

2 He made the Sea(A) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits[a] high. It took a line of thirty cubits[b] to measure around it. 3 Below the rim, figures of bulls encircled it—ten to a cubit.[c] The bulls were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.
4 The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east.(B) The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center.
