< 2 Chronicles 4 >

1 Then he made an altar of bronze, thirty-four feet and five inches, its length, and thirty-four feet and five inches, its breadth, and seventeen feet and three inches its height.
וַיַּ֙עַשׂ֙ מִזְבַּ֣ח נְחֹ֔שֶׁת עֶשְׂרִ֤ים אַמָּה֙ אָרְכֹּ֔ו וְעֶשְׂרִ֥ים אַמָּ֖ה רָחְבֹּ֑ו וְעֶ֥שֶׂר אַמֹּ֖ות קֹומָתֹֽו׃ ס
2 Also he made the molten sea seventeen feet and three inches from brim to brim, round in compass; and its height was eight feet and seven inches; and a line of fifty-one feet and eight inches encircled it.
וַיַּ֥עַשׂ אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם מוּצָ֑ק עֶ֣שֶׂר בָּֽ֠אַמָּה מִשְּׂפָתֹ֨ו אֶל־שְׂפָתֹ֜ו עָגֹ֣ול ׀ סָבִ֗יב וְחָמֵ֤שׁ בָּֽאַמָּה֙ קֹֽומָתֹ֔ו וְקָו֙ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה יָסֹ֥ב אֹתֹ֖ו סָבִֽיב׃
3 Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for seventeen feet and three inches, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast 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 stood on 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 set on them above, and all their backs were toward the center.
עֹומֵ֞ד עַל־שְׁנֵ֧ים עָשָׂ֣ר בָּקָ֗ר שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה פֹנִ֣ים ׀ צָפֹ֡ונָה וּשְׁלֹושָׁה֩ פֹנִ֨ים ׀ יָ֜מָּה וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה ׀ פֹּנִ֣ים נֶ֗גְבָּה וּשְׁלֹשָׁה֙ פֹּנִ֣ים מִזְרָ֔חָה וְהַיָּ֥ם עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מִלְמָ֑עְלָה וְכָל־אֲחֹרֵיהֶ֖ם בָּֽיְתָה׃
5 It was almost three inches thick; and its brim was worked like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held three thousand baths.
וְעָבְיֹ֣ו טֶ֔פַח וּשְׂפָתֹו֙ כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה שְׂפַת־כֹּ֔וס פֶּ֖רַח שֹֽׁושַׁנָּ֑ה מַחֲזִ֣יק בַּתִּ֔ים שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת אֲלָפִ֖ים יָכִֽיל׃ ס
6 He made also ten basins, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt offering they washed in 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 He made the ten lampstands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, 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 placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. He made one hundred basins of gold.
וַיַּ֣עַשׂ שֻׁלְחָנֹות֮ עֲשָׂרָה֒ וַיַּנַּח֙ בַּֽהֵיכָ֔ל חֲמִשָּׁ֥ה מִיָּמִ֖ין וַחֲמִשָּׁ֣ה מִשְּׂמֹ֑אול וַיַּ֛עַשׂ מִזְרְקֵ֥י זָהָ֖ב מֵאָֽה׃
9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.
וַיַּ֙עַשׂ֙ חֲצַ֣ר הַכֹּהֲנִ֔ים וְהָעֲזָרָ֖ה הַגְּדֹולָ֑ה וּדְלָתֹ֧ות לָעֲזָרָ֛ה וְדַלְתֹותֵיהֶ֖ם צִפָּ֥ה נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃
10 He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
וְאֶת־הַיָּ֗ם נָתַ֞ן מִכֶּ֧תֶף הַיְמָנִ֛ית קֵ֖דְמָה מִמּ֥וּל נֶֽגְבָּה׃
11 And Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing the work that he did for king Solomon in God's house:
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 two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that 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 bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars.
וְאֶת־הָֽרִמֹּונִ֛ים אַרְבַּ֥ע מֵאֹ֖ות לִשְׁתֵּ֣י הַשְּׂבָכֹ֑ות שְׁנַ֨יִם טוּרִ֤ים רִמֹּונִים֙ לַשְּׂבָכָ֣ה הָאֶחָ֔ת לְכַסֹּ֗ות אֶת־שְׁתֵּי֙ גֻּלֹּ֣ות הַכֹּֽתָרֹ֔ות אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָעַמּוּדִֽים׃
14 He made also the bases, and the basins made he on the bases;
וְאֶת־הַמְּכֹנֹ֖ות עָשָׂ֑ה וְאֶת־הַכִּיֹּרֹ֥ות עָשָׂ֖ה עַל־הַמְּכֹנֹֽות׃
15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.
אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם אֶחָ֑ד וְאֶת־הַבָּקָ֥ר שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֖ר תַּחְתָּֽיו׃
16 The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels Hiram Abi made for king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright bronze.
וְאֶת־הַ֠סִּירֹות וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֤ים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְלָגֹות֙ וְאֶת־כָּל־כְּלֵיהֶ֔ם עָשָׂ֞ה חוּרָ֥ם אָבִ֛יו לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה לְבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה נְחֹ֖שֶׁת מָרֽוּק׃
17 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
בְּכִכַּ֤ר הַיַּרְדֵּן֙ יְצָקָ֣ם הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ בַּעֲבִ֖י הָאֲדָמָ֑ה בֵּ֥ין סֻכֹּ֖ות וּבֵ֥ין צְרֵדָֽתָה׃
18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
וַיַּ֧עַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה כָּל־הַכֵּלִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה לָרֹ֣ב מְאֹ֑ד כִּ֛י לֹ֥א נֶחְקַ֖ר מִשְׁקַ֥ל הַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃ פ
19 Solomon made all the vessels that were in God's house, the golden altar also, and the tables with the show bread on them;
וַיַּ֣עַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַכֵּלִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר בֵּ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְאֵת֙ מִזְבַּ֣ח הַזָּהָ֔ב וְאֶת־הַשֻּׁלְחָנֹ֔ות וַעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם לֶ֥חֶם הַפָּנִֽים׃
20 and the lampstands with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;
וְאֶת־הַמְּנֹרֹ֞ות וְנֵרֹתֵיהֶ֗ם לְבַעֲרָ֧ם כַּמִּשְׁפָּ֛ט לִפְנֵ֥י הַדְּבִ֖יר זָהָ֥ב סָגֽוּר׃
21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold;
וְהַפֶּ֧רַח וְהַנֵּרֹ֛ות וְהַמֶּלְקַחַ֖יִם זָהָ֑ב ה֖וּא מִכְלֹ֥ות זָהָֽב׃
22 and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold: and as for the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.
וְהַֽמְזַמְּרֹ֧ות וְהַמִּזְרָקֹ֛ות וְהַכַּפֹּ֥ות וְהַמַּחְתֹּ֖ות זָהָ֣ב סָג֑וּר וּפֶ֣תַח הַ֠בַּיִת דַּלְתֹותָ֨יו הַפְּנִימִיֹּ֜ות לְקֹ֣דֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁ֗ים וְדַלְתֵ֥י הַבַּ֛יִת לַהֵיכָ֖ל זָהָֽב׃
