The Bronze Altar and Molten Sea

The Bronze Altar and Molten Sea

(1 Kings 7:23–26)

He made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.[fn]

2

He 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 3Below [the rim], figures of oxen encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of [the Sea].

4

[The 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. 5It was a handbreadth thick,[fn] and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.[fn]

6

4:1 The altar was approximately 30 feet in length and width and 15 feet high (9.1 meters in length and width and 4.6 meters high).

4:5 A handbreadth is approximately 2.9 inches or 7.4 centimeters.

4:5 3,000 baths is approximately 17,400 gallons or 66,000 liters.
