3 Ref And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.
4 Ref It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.
5 Ref It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take three thousand baths.
6 Ref And he made ten washing-vessels, putting five on the right side and five on the left; such things as were used in making the burned offering were washed in them; but the great water-vessel was to be used by the priests for washing themselves.

13 Ref And the four hundred apples for the network, two lines of apples for the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the pillars.
14 Ref And he made the ten bases and the ten washing-vessels which were on the bases;
15 The great water-vessel with the twelve oxen under it.

21 Ref The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.
