Exegesis
The description begins with veavyo {וְעָבְי֣וֹ | wə-ʿā-vyō} ‘and its thickness’, using the conjunctive vav to link this clause to preceding elements about the bronze sea.
In context — 2 Chronicles 4:5
Its thickness was a handbreadth , and its rim was like the work of a cup’s rim, like a lily flower. It could hold three thousand baths .
