2 Chronicles 4:3 — Meaning and Application

Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.

Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. {from...: Heb. from his brim to his brim}

And under it {was} the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen {were} cast, when it was cast.

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.

And 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}
