2 Chronicles 4:4-6
English Standard Version
4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward. 5 Its thickness was a handbreadth.[a] And its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. (A)It held 3,000 baths.[b] 6 (B)He also made ten basins in which to wash, and set five on the south side, and five on the north side. In these they were to rinse off what was used for the burnt offering, and the sea was for the priests to wash in.
