Contextual Overview

1 And he made an altar of bronze, its length twenty cubits and its breadth twenty cubits, and its height ten cubits. 2 And he made the molten sea of ten cubits from its brim to its brim, circular all around; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it all around. 3 And under it was the shape of oxen, under it and all around it for ten cubits, compassing the sea all around. Two rows of oxen were cast when it was cast. 4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, and three facing the west, and three facing the south, and three facing the east; and the sea was upon them above, and all their hinder parts inside. 5 And its thickness was a handbreadth, and its lip like the work of the lip of a cup, like a lily blossom. It received and held three thousand baths. 6 He also made ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; they washed what pertains to the burnt offering with them; and the sea was for the priests to wash in. 7 And he made ten lampstands of gold, according to their ordinance, and placed them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. 8 He also made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left; and he made a hundred basins of gold. 9 And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court; and he overlaid their doors with bronze. 10 And he placed the sea on the right side eastward, across from the south.
