2 Chronicles 4:4-6

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴ The sea stood on twelve cattle, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center. ⁵ The sea was three inches^[a] thick. Its rim was shaped like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held eighteen thousand gallons.^[b]

⁶ He also made ten basins for washing and put five on the south side and five on the north. The pieces of the burnt offering were washed in the basins, but the priests washed in the sea.
