The sides of the tank were 3 inches thick, and its rim was shaped like a cup that curved outward like the petals of flowers. The basin held about 16,500 gallons [of water].

They also made ten basins for washing the [animals that were] to be sacrificed. The priests used the very large tank for washing themselves.

18 And he made Solomon all the articles these to abundance exceedingly that not it was ascertained [the] weight of the bronze.
All of those things that Solomon [told them to] make used a very large amount of bronze; no one tried to weigh it all.
