And above the tops of the columns, he set a work in the manner of lilies. And the work of the columns was perfected.
He also made a molten sea, of ten cubits from brim to brim, rounded on all sides. Its height was five cubits, and a thin rope of thirty cubits wrapped it all around.
And a sculpted work under the brim encircled it for ten cubits going around the sea. There were two rows cast of striated sculptures.
And it was standing upon twelve oxen, of which three were looking toward the north, and three toward the west, and three toward the south, and three toward the east. And the sea above was over them. And their posteriors were entirely hidden within.
And the basin was the thickness of three twelfths. And its brim was like the brim of a chalice, or like the outturned petal of a lily. It contained two thousand baths.
And he made ten bases of brass: each base was four cubits in length, and four cubits in width, and three cubits in height.
And the work itself of the bases was engraved; and there were sculptures between the junctures.
