The Molten Sea

The Molten Sea

(2 Chronicles 4:1–5)


23He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.[fn] 24Below the rim, ornamental buds encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.


25The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center. 26It was a handbreadth thick,[fn] and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths.[fn]


7:23 The Sea was approximately 15 feet from rim to rim, 7.5 feet in height, and 45 feet in circumference (4.6 meters from rim to rim, 2.3 meters in height, and 13.7 meters in circumference).

7:26 A handbreadth is approximately 2.9 inches or 7.4 centimeters.

7:26 2,000 baths is approximately 11,600 gallons or 44,000 liters; LXX does not include this sentence.
