1 Kings 7:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.

26 It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths.

27 In addition, he made ten movable stands of bronze, each four cubits long, four cubits wide, and three cubits high.

28 This was the design of the stands: They had side panels attached to uprights,

29 and on the panels between the uprights were lions, oxen, and cherubim. On the uprights was a pedestal above, and below the lions and oxen were wreaths of beveled work.
