Two rows of oxen {were} cast, when it was cast.● 4It 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.● 5And the thickness of it {was} an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; {and} it received and held three thousand baths. {with flowers...: or, like a lilyflower}● 6He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea {was} for the priests to wash in. {such...: Heb. the work of burnt offering}● 7And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set {them} in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.● 8He made also ten tables, and placed {them} in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left.
