2 Chronicles 4:5-7
New Living Translation
5 The walls of the Sea were about three inches[a] thick, and its rim flared out like a cup and resembled a water lily blossom. It could hold about 16,500 gallons[b] of water.
6 He also made ten smaller basins for washing the utensils for the burnt offerings. He set five on the south side and five on the north. But the priests washed themselves in the Sea.
7 He then cast ten gold lampstands according to the specifications that had been given, and he put them in the Temple. Five were placed against the south wall, and five were placed against the north wall.
