22 The lily-shaped caps were on top of the columns.This completed the work on the columns.
23 Hiram also made a large bowl called the Sea. It was just over two meters deep, about 4.5 meters across, and 13.5 meters around.
24 Two rows of bronze gourds were around the outer edge of the bowl, ten gourds to every 45 centimeters.
25 The bowl itself sat on top of twelve bronze bulls with three bulls facing outward in each of four directions.
26 The sides of the bowl were 75 millimeters thick, and its rim was like a cup that curved outward like flower petals. The bowl held about 40,000 liters.
27 Hiram made ten movable bronze stands, each one over a meter high, almost two meters long, and almost two meters wide.
28-29 The sides were made with panels attached to frames decorated with flower designs. The panels themselves were decorated with figures of lions, bulls, and winged creatures.
