2 Chronicles 4:4-6

New International Version - UK

⁴ The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were towards the centre. ⁵ It was a handbreadth^[a] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held three thousand baths.^[b]

⁶ He then made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. In them the things to be used for the burnt offerings were rinsed, but the Sea was to be used by the priests for washing.
