καὶ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τὴν θάλασσαν, καὶ τὰ ὑποστηρίγματα, καὶ τοὺς λουτῆρας τοὺς μεγάλους, καὶ τοὺς στύλους, καὶ τἠν κρήνην τῆς αὐλῆς, καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν τὴν χαλκῆν· καὶ ᾠκοδόμησε τὴν ἄκραν ἔπαλξιν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς, διεκόψεν τὴν πόλιν Δαυίδ. Καὶ ἐποίησε τὴν θάλασσαν δέκα ἐν πήχει ἀπὸ τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς ἕως τοῦ χείλους αὐτῆς, στρογγυλόν κύκλῳ τὸ αὐτό· πέντε ἐν πήχει τὸ ὕψος αὐτῆς· καὶ συνηγμένη τρεῖς καὶ τριάκοντα ἐν πήχει.
