1 Kings 7:23-37

[23] And he made  sea,  ten  cubits  from the one brim  it was round  all about,  and his height  was five  cubits:  of thirty  cubits  did compass  it round about.  [24] And under the brim  of it round about  there were knops  compassing  it, ten  in a cubit,  compassing  the sea  round about:  the knops  were cast  in two  rows,  when it was cast.  [25] It stood  upon twelve  oxen,  three  looking  toward the north,  and three  looking  toward the west,  and three  looking  toward the south,  and three  looking  toward the east:  and the sea  was set above  upon them, and all their hinder parts  were inward.  [26] And it was an hand breadth  thick,  and the brim  thereof was wrought  like the brim  of a cup,  with flowers  of lilies:  it contained  two thousand  baths.  [27] And he made  ten  bases  of brass;  four  cubits  was the length  of one  base,  and four  cubits  the breadth  thereof, and three  cubits  the height  [28] And the work  of the bases  was on this manner: they had borders,  were between the ledges:  [29] And on the borders  that were between the ledges  were lions,  oxen,  and cherubims:  and upon the ledges  there was a base  above:  and beneath the lions  and oxen  were certain additions  made of thin  work.  [30] And every  base  had four  brasen  wheels,  and plates  of brass:  and the four  corners  thereof had undersetters:  under the laver  were undersetters  at the side  of every  addition.  [31] And the mouth  of it within  the chapiter  and above  was a cubit:  but the mouth  thereof was round  after the work  of the base,  a cubit  and an half:  and also upon the mouth  of it were gravings  with their borders,  foursquare,  not round.  [32] And under  the borders  were four  wheels;  and the axletrees  of the wheels  were joined to the base:  and the height  of a  wheel  was a cubit  and half  a cubit.  [33] And the work  of the wheels  was like the work  of a chariot  wheel:  their axletrees,  and their naves,  and their felloes,  and their spokes,  were all molten.  [34] And there were four  undersetters  to the four  corners  of one  base:  and the undersetters  were of the very base  [35] And in the top  of the base  was there a round  compass  of half  a cubit  high:  and on the top  of the base  the ledges  thereof and the borders  [36] For on the plates  of the ledges  thereof, and on the borders  thereof, he graved  cherubims,  lions,  and palm trees,  according to the proportion  of every one,  and additions  round about.  [37] After this manner he made  the ten  bases:  all of them had one  casting,  one  measure,  and one  size.
