1 Kings 7:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² On the top of the pillars there was lily work. Thus, the work on the pillars was completed.

²³ Then he made a molten sea, ten cubits from one edge to the other. It was five cubits high, and thirty cubits in circumference. ²⁴ Under the brim of its circumference there were gourds, ten to a cubit. There were two rows of gourds all around the sea, the gourds having been cast when the rest of it was cast.
