2 Chronicles 4:4-6

Modern English 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 their back sides were facing inward. ⁵ The thickness of the sea was a palm,^[a] and its brim was like the brim of a cup, as the flower of a lily. It held three thousand baths^[b] securely.

⁶ Then he made ten water basins, and he set five on the southern right side and five on the northern left side to rinse off in them the instruments of the burnt offering. And the sea basin was for the priests to wash in.
