2 Chronicles 4:1-3
International Standard Version

Furnishing the Temple(A)

4 Solomon[a] also constructed a bronze[b] altar 20 cubits[c] long, 20 cubits[d] wide, and ten cubits[e] high. 2 He crafted a circular sea of cast metal 10 cubits[f] from rim to rim and five cubits[g] tall. A line 30 cubits[h] long surrounded it. 3 Underneath, figurines resembling oxen[i] encircled the circular sea[j] beneath it, ten oxen[k] every cubit,[l] and encircling the sea completely. The oxen were in two rows, cast all at the same time.
