1 Kings 7:25-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ Hiram fixed ‘the Sea’ on top of 12 bronze bulls. Three pointed north, three pointed west, three pointed south and three pointed east. Their backs were towards the middle of ‘the Sea’. ²⁶ The walls of ‘the Sea’ were 7½ centimetres thick. Its top edge was like a cup in the shape of a lily flower. ‘The Sea’ contained about 40,000 litres of water.

²⁷ Hiram also made ten bronze carts to carry water.^[a] Each one was 1.8 metres long, 1.8 metres wide and 1.3 metres deep.
