2 Chronicles 4:5-7
International Standard Version
5 It was a handbreadth[a] thick, with its brim fashioned like the brim of a cup. Similar in shape to a lily blossom, it could hold 3,000 baths.[b] 6 Solomon[c] also made ten wash basins, placing five on the right side and five on the left. The basins were intended for use to rinse burnt offerings, and the sea was intended for use by the priests to wash in.
7 Solomon[d] made ten gold lamp stands as he had been directed and set them in the Temple, five on the south side and five on the north side.
