2 Chronicles 4:1-6

The Altar, Reservoir, and Basins

1 He made a bronze altar 30 feet^[a] long, 30 feet^[b] wide, and 15 feet^[c] high.

2 Then he made the cast [metal] reservoir, 15 feet^[d] from brim to brim, perfectly round. It was seven and a half feet^[e] high, and 45 feet^[f] in circumference.

3 The likeness of oxen^[g] was below it, completely encircling it, 10 every half yard,^[h] completely surrounding the reservoir. The oxen were cast in two rows when the reservoir was cast.

4 It stood on 12 oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The reservoir was on top of them and all their hindquarters were toward the center.

5 The reservoir was three inches^[i] thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup or a lily blossom. It could hold 11,000 gallons.^[j][k]

6 He made 10 basins for washing and he put five on the right and five on the left.^[l] The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them,^[m] but the reservoir was used by the priests for washing.
