2 Chronicles 4

1 Also, he made a brass altar of twenty cubits in length, and of twenty cubits in width, and of ten cubits in height,

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

2 as well as a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in its circumference. It had five cubits in height, and a line of thirty cubits went around it on all sides.

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 Also, under it there was the likeness of oxen. And certain engravings encircled the cavity of the sea, along ten cubits of the outside, as if in two rows. Now the oxen were molten.

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 And the sea itself was placed upon the twelve oxen, three of which were looking toward the north, and another three toward the west, then another three toward the south, and the three that remained toward the east, having the sea imposed upon them. But the posteriors of the oxen were toward the interior, under the sea.

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 Now its thickness had the measure of the palm of a hand, and its brim was like the lip of a cup, or like the outturned petal of a lily. And it held three thousand measures.

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 Also, he made ten basins. And he placed five on the right, and five on the left, so that they might wash in them all the things that they were to offer as holocausts. But the priests were to be washed in the sea.

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 Then he also made ten gold lampstands, according to the form by which they had been ordered to be made. And he set them in the temple, five on the right, 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 Moreover, there were also ten tables. And he placed them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. Also, there were one hundred gold bowls.

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 too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered 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 Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.

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

11 Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king 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 that is, the two pillars, and the crossbeams, and the heads, and something like a little net, which would cover the heads above the crossbeams,

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 also four hundred pomegranates, and two little nets, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each net, which would cover the crossbeams and the heads of 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 He also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;

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

15 one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.

16 and cooking pots and hooks and bowls. Hiram, his father, made all the vessels for Solomon, in the house of the Lord, from the purest 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 cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.

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

18 Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.

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 for the house of God, and the gold altar, and the tables upon which were the bread of the presence;

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 also, of the purest gold, the lampstands with their lamps, to shine before the oracle, according to the rite;

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

21 and certain flowers, and lamps, and gold tongs. All these were made from the purest gold.

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

22 Also, the vessels for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the little mortars were from the purest gold. And he engraved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the Holy of Holies. And the doors of the outer temple were of gold. And so, every work was completed that Solomon made in the house of the Lord.

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.
