< 2 Chronicles 4 >

1 He made also an altar of copper, twenty cubits being its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.
וַיַּ֙עַשׂ֙ מִזְבַּ֣ח נְחֹ֔שֶׁת עֶשְׂרִ֤ים אַמָּה֙ אָרְכֹּ֔ו וְעֶשְׂרִ֥ים אַמָּ֖ה רָחְבֹּ֑ו וְעֶ֥שֶׂר אַמֹּ֖ות קֹומָתֹֽו׃ ס
2 He made also the molten sea, being ten cubits from the one brim to the other, rounded all about, and it was five cubits in height: and a line of thirty cubits did encompass it round about.
וַיַּ֥עַשׂ אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם מוּצָ֑ק עֶ֣שֶׂר בָּֽ֠אַמָּה מִשְּׂפָתֹ֨ו אֶל־שְׂפָתֹ֜ו עָגֹ֣ול ׀ סָבִ֗יב וְחָמֵ֤שׁ בָּֽאַמָּה֙ קֹֽומָתֹ֔ו וְקָו֙ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה יָסֹ֥ב אֹתֹ֖ו סָבִֽיב׃
3 And likenesses of oxen were under it, encompassing it all round about, ten in a cubit, encircling the sea round about: the oxen were in two rows [and were] cast [with it], when it was cast.
וּדְמ֣וּת בְּקָרִים֩ תַּ֨חַת לֹ֜ו סָבִ֤יב ׀ סָבִיב֙ סֹובְבִ֣ים אֹתֹ֔ו עֶ֚שֶׂר בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה מַקִּיפִ֥ים אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם סָבִ֑יב שְׁנַ֤יִם טוּרִים֙ הַבָּקָ֔ר יְצוּקִ֖ים בְּמֻֽצַקְתֹּֽו׃
4 It was standing 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 resting above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
עֹומֵ֞ד עַל־שְׁנֵ֧ים עָשָׂ֣ר בָּקָ֗ר שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה פֹנִ֣ים ׀ צָפֹ֡ונָה וּשְׁלֹושָׁה֩ פֹנִ֨ים ׀ יָ֜מָּה וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה ׀ פֹּנִ֣ים נֶ֗גְבָּה וּשְׁלֹשָׁה֙ פֹּנִ֣ים מִזְרָ֔חָה וְהַיָּ֥ם עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מִלְמָ֑עְלָה וְכָל־אֲחֹרֵיהֶ֖ם בָּֽיְתָה׃
5 And its thickness was a hand's breadth, and its brim like the brim of a cup, with lily-buds; and it could hold and contain three thousand baths.
וְעָבְיֹ֣ו טֶ֔פַח וּשְׂפָתֹו֙ כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה שְׂפַת־כֹּ֔וס פֶּ֖רַח שֹֽׁושַׁנָּ֑ה מַחֲזִ֣יק בַּתִּ֔ים שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת אֲלָפִ֖ים יָכִֽיל׃ ס
6 He made also ten lavers; and he placed five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: what belonged to the burnt-offering they rinsed off at them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
וַיַּ֣עַשׂ כִּיֹּורִים֮ עֲשָׂרָה֒ וַ֠יִּתֵּן חֲמִשָּׁ֨ה מִיָּמִ֜ין וַחֲמִשָּׁ֤ה מִשְּׂמֹאול֙ לְרָחְצָ֣ה בָהֶ֔ם אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה הָעֹולָ֖ה יָדִ֣יחוּ בָ֑ם וְהַיָּ֕ם לְרָחְצָ֥ה לַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים בֹּֽו׃ ס
7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their prescribed manner: and he placed [them] in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left.
וַ֠יַּעַשׂ אֶת־מְנֹרֹ֧ות הַזָּהָ֛ב עֶ֖שֶׂר כְּמִשְׁפָּטָ֑ם וַיִּתֵּן֙ בַּֽהֵיכָ֔ל חָמֵ֥שׁ מִיָּמִ֖ין וְחָמֵ֥שׁ מִשְּׂמֹֽאול׃ ס
8 He made also ten tables, and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred bowls of gold.
וַיַּ֣עַשׂ שֻׁלְחָנֹות֮ עֲשָׂרָה֒ וַיַּנַּח֙ בַּֽהֵיכָ֔ל חֲמִשָּׁ֥ה מִיָּמִ֖ין וַחֲמִשָּׁ֣ה מִשְּׂמֹ֑אול וַיַּ֛עַשׂ מִזְרְקֵ֥י זָהָ֖ב מֵאָֽה׃
9 And he made the court of the priests, and the great out-court, and doors for the out-court, and their doors he overlaid with copper.
וַיַּ֙עַשׂ֙ חֲצַ֣ר הַכֹּהֲנִ֔ים וְהָעֲזָרָ֖ה הַגְּדֹולָ֑ה וּדְלָתֹ֧ות לָעֲזָרָ֛ה וְדַלְתֹותֵיהֶ֖ם צִפָּ֥ה נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃
10 And the sea he placed on the right side toward the east, opposite to the south.
וְאֶת־הַיָּ֗ם נָתַ֞ן מִכֶּ֧תֶף הַיְמָנִ֛ית קֵ֖דְמָה מִמּ֥וּל נֶֽגְבָּה׃
11 And Churam made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Churam made an end of doing the work which he made for king Solomon in the house of God:
וַיַּ֣עַשׂ חוּרָ֔ם אֶת־הַ֨סִּירֹ֔ות וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֖ים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְרָקֹ֑ות ס וַיְכַ֣ל חיּרָם (חוּרָ֗ם) לַעֲשֹׂות֙ אֶת־הַמְּלָאכָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֛ה לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה בְּבֵ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃
12 The two pillars, and the bowls, and the capitals on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the bowl-shaped capitals which were on the top of the pillars;
עַמּוּדִ֣ים שְׁנַ֔יִם וְהַגֻּלֹּ֧ות וְהַכֹּתָרֹ֛ות עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָעַמּוּדִ֖ים שְׁתָּ֑יִם וְהַשְּׂבָכֹ֣ות שְׁתַּ֔יִם לְכַסֹּ֗ות אֶת־שְׁתֵּי֙ גֻּלֹּ֣ות הַכֹּֽתָרֹ֔ות אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָֽעַמּוּדִֽים׃
13 And the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals which were upon the front of the pillars.
וְאֶת־הָֽרִמֹּונִ֛ים אַרְבַּ֥ע מֵאֹ֖ות לִשְׁתֵּ֣י הַשְּׂבָכֹ֑ות שְׁנַ֨יִם טוּרִ֤ים רִמֹּונִים֙ לַשְּׂבָכָ֣ה הָאֶחָ֔ת לְכַסֹּ֗ות אֶת־שְׁתֵּי֙ גֻּלֹּ֣ות הַכֹּֽתָרֹ֔ות אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָעַמּוּדִֽים׃
14 The bases also did he make, and the lavers made he upon the bases.
וְאֶת־הַמְּכֹנֹ֖ות עָשָׂ֑ה וְאֶת־הַכִּיֹּרֹ֥ות עָשָׂ֖ה עַל־הַמְּכֹנֹֽות׃
15 The one sea, and the twelve oxen under it,
אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם אֶחָ֑ד וְאֶת־הַבָּקָ֥ר שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֖ר תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
16 And the pots also, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their instruments, did Churam-Abiv make for king Solomon for the house of the Lord, of polished copper.
וְאֶת־הַ֠סִּירֹות וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֤ים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְלָגֹות֙ וְאֶת־כָּל־כְּלֵיהֶ֔ם עָשָׂ֞ה חוּרָ֥ם אָבִ֛יו לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה לְבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה נְחֹ֖שֶׁת מָרֽוּק׃
17 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
בְּכִכַּ֤ר הַיַּרְדֵּן֙ יְצָקָ֣ם הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ בַּעֲבִ֖י הָאֲדָמָ֑ה בֵּ֥ין סֻכֹּ֖ות וּבֵ֥ין צְרֵדָֽתָה׃
18 And Solomon made all these vessels in very great abundance; for the weight of the copper was not inquired into.
וַיַּ֧עַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה כָּל־הַכֵּלִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה לָרֹ֣ב מְאֹ֑ד כִּ֛י לֹ֥א נֶחְקַ֖ר מִשְׁקַ֥ל הַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃ פ
19 And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained to the house of God; and the altar of gold also, and the tables whereon the show-bread [was set];
וַיַּ֣עַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַכֵּלִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר בֵּ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְאֵת֙ מִזְבַּ֣ח הַזָּהָ֔ב וְאֶת־הַשֻּׁלְחָנֹ֔ות וַעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם לֶ֥חֶם הַפָּנִֽים׃
20 And the candlesticks with their lamps, to light them after the prescribed manner before the debir, of pure gold.
וְאֶת־הַמְּנֹרֹ֞ות וְנֵרֹתֵיהֶ֗ם לְבַעֲרָ֧ם כַּמִּשְׁפָּ֛ט לִפְנֵ֥י הַדְּבִ֖יר זָהָ֥ב סָגֽוּר׃
21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, were of gold, the purest of gold;
וְהַפֶּ֧רַח וְהַנֵּרֹ֛ות וְהַמֶּלְקַחַ֖יִם זָהָ֑ב ה֖וּא מִכְלֹ֥ות זָהָֽב׃
22 And the knives, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers were of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
וְהַֽמְזַמְּרֹ֧ות וְהַמִּזְרָקֹ֛ות וְהַכַּפֹּ֥ות וְהַמַּחְתֹּ֖ות זָהָ֣ב סָג֑וּר וּפֶ֣תַח הַ֠בַּיִת דַּלְתֹותָ֨יו הַפְּנִימִיֹּ֜ות לְקֹ֣דֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁ֗ים וְדַלְתֵ֥י הַבַּ֛יִת לַהֵיכָ֖ל זָהָֽב׃
