2 Chronicles 4

1 Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

And he made a brazen altar: its length was twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and its height ten cubits.

2 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.

And he made the sea, molten, ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about.

3 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.

And under it was the similitude of oxen, encompassing it round about, ten in a cubit enclosing the sea round about, two rows of oxen, cast when it was cast.

4 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.

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 above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

5 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.

And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim like the work of the brim of a cup, with lily-blossoms; in capacity it held three thousand baths.

6 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.

And he made ten lavers, and put five on the right and five on the left, to wash in them: they rinsed in them what they prepared for the burnt-offering; and the sea was for the priests to wash in.

7 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.

And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance respecting them, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left.

8 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.

And he made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left. And he made a hundred golden bowls.

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

And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors thereof with bronze.

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

And he set the sea on the right side eastward, over against the south.

11 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:

And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram ended doing the work that he made for king Solomon in the house of God:

12 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;

two pillars, and the globes and the capitals on the top of the pillars, two; and the two networks, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;

13 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.

and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were upon the pillars.

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

And he made the bases, and he made the lavers on the bases;

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

one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.

16 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.

And the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their instruments did Huram Abiv make king Solomon for the house of Jehovah, of bright brass.

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

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

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

And Solomon made all these vessels in great number; for the weight of the brass was not ascertained.

19 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,

And Solomon made all the vessels that were [in] the house of God: the golden altar; and the tables whereon was the shewbread;

20 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;

and the candlesticks with their lamps to burn according to the ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold;

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

and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold (it was perfect gold);

22 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.

and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and the censers, of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, the inner folding-doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.
