1 Kings 7:23-26 - The Reservoir

²³ Then he cast a sea of brass, ten cubits wide from brim to brim and round in compass, and five cubits high. And a string of thirty cubits might compass it about, ²⁴ and under the brim of it as it were apples compassed and embraced the sea of ten cubits wide in two rows cast with it when it was cast. ²⁵ And it stood on twelve oxen: of which three looked North, three West, three South, and three East, and the sea on high upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. ²⁶ And it was a hand breadth thick, and the brim wrought like the brim of a cup with flowers of lilies. And it contained two thousand baths.
