²³ He made the Sea^(A) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line^(B) of thirty cubits^[a] to measure around it. ²⁴ Below the rim, gourds encircled it—ten to a cubit. The gourds were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.

²⁵ The Sea stood on twelve bulls,^(C) three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. ²⁶ It was a handbreadth^[b] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held two thousand baths.^[c]

³⁸ He then made ten bronze basins,^(A) each holding forty baths^[a] and measuring four cubits across, one basin to go on each of the ten stands. ³⁹ He placed five of the stands on the south side of the temple and five on the north. He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner of the temple. ⁴⁰ He also made the pots^[b] and shovels and sprinkling bowls.^(B)

So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the Lord:

All these objects that Huram^(E) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of burnished bronze. ⁴⁶ The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain^(F) of the Jordan between Sukkoth^(G) and Zarethan.^{(H) 47} Solomon left all these things unweighed,^(I) because there were so many;^(J) the weight of the bronze^(K) was not determined.

⁴⁸ Solomon also made all^(L) the furnishings that were in the Lord’s temple:

⁵¹ When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated^(R)—the silver and gold and the furnishings^(S)—and he placed them in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple.
