2 Chronicles 4

1 He made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.

2 He also made the Sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim, five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference.

3 Below the rim, figures of oxen encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of the Sea.

4 The Sea stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The Sea rested on them, with all their hindquarters toward the center.

5 It was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.

6 He also made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them, but the priests used the Sea for washing.

7 He made ten gold lampstands according to their specifications and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.

8 Additionally, he made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold bowls.

9 He made the courtyard of the priests and the large court with its doors, and he overlaid the doors with bronze.

10 He put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.

11 Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of God:

12 the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars; the two sets of network covering both bowls of the capitals atop the pillars;

13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars);

14 the stands; the basins on the stands;

15 the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;

16 and the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other articles. All these objects that Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.

17 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah.

18 Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

19 Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of God: the golden altar; the tables on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;

20 the lampstands of pure gold and their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;

21 the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold—of purest gold;

22 the wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers of pure gold; and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place as well as the doors of the main hall.

1 ¶ Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.

2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

3 And under it [was] the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen [were] cast, when it was cast.

4 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.

5 And the thickness of it [was] an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; [and] it received and held three thousand baths.

6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea [was] for the priests to wash in.

7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set [them] in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

8 He made also ten tables, and placed [them] in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold.

9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.

10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.

11 ¶ And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;

12 [To wit], the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters [which were] on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which [were] on the top of the pillars;

13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which [were] upon the pillars.

14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;

15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.

16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.

17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.

18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.

19 And Solomon made all the vessels that [were for] the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread [was set];

20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;

21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, [made he of] gold, [and] that perfect gold;

22 And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, [of] pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy [place], and the doors of the house of the temple, [were of] gold.

1 He made also an altar of brass, twenty cubits long and broad, and ten cubits high.

2 And he made a sea of water ten cubits from the brim to the brim round about, and five cubits high; and a measure of thirty cubits compassed it round about.

3 And the images of oxen were round about him: and there were two bends of the sea round about, ten cubits broad, cast on with them.

4 And it was so upon the twelve oxen, that three were turned toward the north, and three toward the west, and three toward the south, and three toward the east, and the sea was upon them: and all the hindmost of them was within.

5 The thickness thereof was an handbreadth, and the brim thereof was as the brim of a cup, and as a rose sprung up: and it held three thousand baths.

6 And he made ten caldrons, and set five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them the things of the burnt offering, that they should pour them in; and the sea for the priests to wash in.

7 He made also ten candlesticks of gold, as they should be, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

8 And he made ten tables, and put them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basins of gold.

9 He made also a court for the priests, and great bars, and doors in the bars; and overlaid the doors with brass.

10 And set the sea on the right corner toward the east southward.

11 And Huram made pots, and shovels, and basins. So Huram finished the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God,

12 Namely, the two pillars with the bellies and knops on the top of both pillars, and both coiled hoops to cover both bellies of the knops on the top of the pillars,

13 And the four hundred pomegranates upon the two coiled hoops; two bows of pomegranates upon each hoop, to cover both the bellies of the knobs that were upon the top of the pillars.

14 And he made the chairs, and the cauldrons upon the chairs.

15 And a sea, and twelve oxen under it;

16 And the pots, and the shovels, and the censers, and all the vessels thereof, did Huram-abif make unto king Solomon for the house of the LORD, of pure brass.

17 And in the coasts of Jordan the king cast them in thick earth, between Shukhoth and Zaredathah.

18 And Solomon made a great number of all these vessels, so that the weight of the brass was not to be searched out.

19 And Solomon made all the vessels of the house of God, the golden altar, and the table, and the shewbread thereon,

20 The candlesticks with their lamps of pure gold, to burn before the choir, as they ought;

21 And the flowers by the lamps, and the snows, were golden; all this was utter gold;

22 And the knives, and the basons, and the spoons, and the bowls, were all gold. And the door of the inner door of the holy of holies, and the door of the house of the temple, were of gold. Ch. 5, v. 1: Thus was all the work accomplished, which Solomon did in the house of the LORD.
