Verse 26 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.

Seine Dicke aber ward eine Hand breit, und sein Rand war wie eines Bechers Rand, wie eine aufgegangene Lilie, und gingen darein zweitausend Bath.
El grueso del mar era de un palmo, y su labio era labrado como el labio de un cáliz, o de flor de lis: y cabían en él dos mil batos.
Su espesor era de unos ocho centímetros. Su borde tenía la forma del borde de una copa, como una flor de lirio. Su capacidad era de unos cuarenta y dos mil litros.
Son épaisseur était d'un palme; et son bord, semblable au bord d'une coupe, était façonné en fleur de lis. Elle contenait deux mille baths.
E la spessezza d’esso era di un palmo, e il suo orlo era fatto a guisa dell’orlo di una coppa, a fior di giglio; ed esso conteneva duemila bati.
E a grossura era de um palmo, e a sua borda era como a de um copo, como de flor de lírios; ele levava dois mil batos.
