Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).

And the likeness of calves was beneath it round about, encircling it; ten cubits, surrounding the laver all around; in two rows they cast the calves in their casting.
in which they made them: twelve calves, three facing north and three facing west and three facing south and three facing east; and the sea was upon them above, and their hindquarters were inward.
And its thickness was a handbreadth, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, engraved with lily blossoms; it held three thousand measures; and he completed it.
And he made ten lavers, and he set five on the right and five on the left, to wash in them the things used for the whole burnt offerings and to rinse in them; and the sea was for the priests to wash in it.
And Chiram made the flesh hooks and the firepans and the hearth of the altar and all its vessels; and Chiram finished all the work that he did for King Salomon in the house of God:
two pillars, and upon them the golath for the chothareth on the tops of the two pillars; and two networks to cover the tops of the chothareth that are on the tops of the pillars;
and four hundred golden bells for the two networks, and two rows of pomegranates on the one network, to cover the two golath of the chothareth that are above the pillars.
and the footbasins and the ladles and the cauldrons and the flesh hooks and all their vessels, which Chiram made and brought to King Salomon in the house of the Lord, of pure bronze.
