And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

Verse 23 is found in chapter 7 of 1 Kings. The great bronze Sea is made, along with the stands, basins, pots, shovels, and other utensils. The abundance of details demonstrates the complexity of the temple’s cultic system. Water has a practical function related to priestly purification, while the monumental ensemble communicates order and grandeur. The description prepares for the installation of these objects during the temple dedication.

Il fit la mer de fonte. Elle avait dix coudées d'un bord à l'autre, une forme entièrement ronde, cinq coudées de hauteur, et une circonférence que mesurait un cordon de trente coudées.
Poi fece il mare di getto, che avea dieci cubiti da una parte dell’orlo all’altra opposta, ed era tondo d’ogn’intorno; ed era alto cinque cubiti, ed un filo di trenta cubiti lo circondava d’ogn’intorno.
