2 Chronicles 4:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 It was a hand’s breadth in thickness, and its rim was like that of a cup—lily-shaped. It could hold three thousand baths.[a]
6 He also made ten basins for washing, placing five on the right and five on the left. These were to be employed to rinse what would be used for the burnt offerings. However, the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 Then he made ten lampstands of gold as prescribed and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left.
