1 Kings 7:22-24
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.
