1 Kings 7:23-25
New Living Translation
23 Then Huram cast a great round basin, 15 feet across from rim to rim, called the Sea. It was 7 1⁄2 feet deep and about 45 feet in circumference.[a] 24 It was encircled just below its rim by two rows of decorative gourds. There were about six gourds per foot[b] all the way around, and they were cast as part of the basin.
25 The Sea was placed on a base of twelve bronze oxen,[c] all facing outward. Three faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east, and the Sea rested on them.
