2 Chronicles 4

1 And he makes an altar of bronze: twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.

And he made a brazen altar, the length of it twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits, and the height ten cubits.

2 And he makes the molten sea; ten by the cubit, from its edge to its edge, round in encompassment, and its height [is] five by the cubit, and a line of thirty by the cubit surrounds it around.

And he made the molten sea, in diameter ten cubits, entirely round, and the height of it five cubits, and the circumference thirty cubits.

3 And the likeness of oxen [is] under it, encompassing it all around, ten to the cubit, surrounding the sea around; two rows of oxen are cast in its being cast.

And beneath it the likeness of calves, they compass it round about: ten cubits compass the laver round about, they cast the calves two rows in their casting,

4 It is standing on twelve oxen, three facing the north, and three facing the west, and three facing the south, and three facing the east, and the sea [is] on them above, and all their back parts [are] within.

wherein they made them twelve calves, —three looking northwards, and three westwards, and three southwards, and three eastwards: and the sea was upon them above, [and] their hinder parts were inward.

5 And its thickness [is] a handbreadth, and its lip as the work of the lip of a cup flowered with lilies; holding [within]—it contains three thousand baths.

And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim as the brim of a cup, graven with flowers of lilies, holding three thousand measures: and he finished [it].

6 And he makes ten lavers, and puts five on the right, and five on the left, to wash with them; they purge the work of the burnt-offering with them; and the sea [is] for priests to wash with.

And he made ten lavers, and set five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them the instruments of the whole burnt offerings, and to rinse [the vessels] in them; and the sea [was] for the priests to wash in.

7 And he makes the ten lampstands of gold, according to their ordinance, and places [them] in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.

And he made the ten golden candlesticks according to their pattern, and he put them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

8 And he makes ten tables, and places [them] in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left; and he makes one hundred bowls of gold.

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

9 And he makes the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and he has overlaid their doors with bronze.

Also he made the priests' court, and the great court, and doors to the court, and their panels [were] overlaid with brass.

10 And he has placed the sea on the right shoulder eastward, from toward the south.

And he set the sea at the corner of the house on the right, as it were fronting the east.

11 And Huram makes the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls, and Huram finishes to make the work that he made for King Solomon in the house of God;

And Chiram made the flesh hooks, and the fire-pans, and the grate of the altar, and all its instruments: and Chiram finished doing all the work which he wrought for king Solomon in the house of God:

12 two pillars, and the bowls, and the crowns on the heads of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [are] on the heads of the pillars;

two pillars, and upon them an embossed work for the chapiters on the heads of the two pillars, and two nets to cover the heads of the chapiters which are on the heads of the pillars;

13 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for the one network, to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [are] on the front of the pillars.

and four hundred golden bells for the two nets, and two rows of pomegranates in each net, to cover the two embossed rims of the chapiters which are upon the pillars.

14 And he has made the bases; and he has made the lavers on the bases;

And he made the ten bases, and he made the lavers upon the bases;

15 the one sea, and the twelve oxen under it,

and the one sea, and the twelve calves under it;

16 and the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their vessels, his father Huram has made for King Solomon, for the house of YHWH, of bronze purified.

and the foot-baths, and the buckets, and the caldrons, and the flesh hooks, and all their furniture (which Chiram made, and brought to king Solomon in the house of the Lord) of pure brass.

17 The king has cast them in the circuit of the Jordan, in the thick soil of the ground, between Succoth and Zeredathah.

In the country round about Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground in the house of Socchoth, and between [that and] Saredatha.

18 And Solomon makes all these vessels in great abundance, that the weight of the bronze has not been searched out.

So Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, for the quantity of brass failed not.

19 And Solomon makes all the vessels that [are for] the house of God, and the altar of gold, and the tables, and on them [is] Bread of the Presentation;

And Solomon made all the vessels of the house of the Lord, and the golden altar, and the tables, and upon them [were to be] the loaves of show bread;

20 and the lampstands, and their lamps, for their burning according to the ordinance, before the oracle, of gold refined;

also the candlesticks, and the lamps to give light according to the pattern, and in front of the oracle, of pure gold.

21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold—it [is] the perfection of gold;

And their snuffers, and their lamps [were made], and [he made] the bowls, and the censers, and the fire-pans, of pure gold.

22 and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the censers, of gold refined, and the opening of the house, its innermost doors to the Holy of Holies, and the doors of the house to the temple, of gold.

And [there was] the inner door of the house [opening] into the holy of holies, and [he made] the inner doors of the temple of gold. So all the work which Solomon wrought for the house of the Lord was finished.
