Bible. Kings, 1st
11:007:023 And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the
other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits:
and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
11:007:024 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.
11:007:025 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.
11:007:026 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.
11:007:027 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 of it.
11:007:028 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had
borders, and the borders were between the ledges:
11:007:029 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.
11:007:030 And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass:
and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver
were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition.
11:007:031 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.
11:007:032 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.
11:007:033 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.
11:007:034 And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one
base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself.
11:007:035 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 thereof were of the same.
11:007:036 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.
11:007:037 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one
casting, one measure, and one size.
