2 Chronicles 4:2-5
New American Standard Bible
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. 5 It was a [h]hand width thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it (B)could hold three thousand [i]baths.
