22 And on the tops of the pillars was lily-work. Thus the work of the pillars was finished.
23 (A)Then he made (B)the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. 24 Under its brim were (C)gourds, for ten cubits, compassing the sea all round. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast.

New International Version
22 The capitals on top were in the shape of lilies. And so the work on the pillars(A) was completed.
23 He made the Sea(B) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line(C) 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.
