1 Raja-raja 7:25

Bejana itu diletakkan di atas punggung dua belas sapi dari perunggu. Tiga sapi menghadap ke utara, tiga menghadap ke barat, tiga menghadap selatan, dan tiga menghadap ke timur.

It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
