21 He set up the columns at the temple’s porch. He named the south column Jachin. The north column he named Boaz.
22 After putting the lily shapes on top of the columns, he was finished with the columns.
23 He also made a tank of cast metal called the Sea. It was circular in shape, fifteen feet from rim to rim, seven and a half feet high, forty-five feet in circumference.
24 Under the rim were two rows of gourds completely encircling it, ten every eighteen inches, each cast in its mold.
25 The Sea rested on twelve oxen with their backs toward the center, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east.
26 The Sea was as thick as the width of a hand. Its rim was shaped like a cup or an open lily blossom. It could hold two thousand baths.
27 He also made ten bronze stands. Each was six feet long, six feet wide, and four and a half feet high.
