2 Chronicles 4

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

Then he made a brass 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.

And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

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.

And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.

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.

It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.

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.

It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take 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.

And he made ten washing-vessels, putting five on the right side and five on the left; such things as were used in making the burned offering were washed in them; but the great water-vessel was to be used by the priests for washing themselves.

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.

And he made the ten gold supports for the lights, as directions had been given for them, and he put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left.

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.

He made ten tables, and put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred gold basins.

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

Then he made the open space for the priests, and the great open space and its doors, plating the doors with brass.

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

He put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house to the east, facing south.

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:

And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did 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;

The two pillars, and the two crowns on the tops of the pillars, and the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the tops of 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);

And the four hundred apples for the network, two lines of apples for the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the pillars.

14 the stands; the basins on the stands;

And he made the ten bases and the ten washing-vessels which were on the bases;

15 the Sea; the twelve oxen underneath the Sea;

The great water-vessel with the twelve oxen under it.

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.

All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

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

The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.

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

So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.

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;

And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,

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

And the supports for the lights with their lights, to be burning in the regular way in front of the inmost room, of the best gold;

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

The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.

22 the wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers of purest 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.

The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.
