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.

He made also an altar of copper, twenty cubits being its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.

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.

10 He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.

And the sea he placed on the right side toward the east, opposite to the south.

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:

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:

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,

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;

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.

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.

14 He made also the bases, and the basins made he on the bases;

The bases also did he make, and the lavers made he upon the bases.

15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.

The one sea, and the twelve oxen under it,

16 The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels Hiram Abi made for king Solomon for the house of YHWH of bright bronze.

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.

17 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

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

18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.

And Solomon made all these vessels in very great abundance; for the weight of the copper was not inquired into.

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;

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];

20 and the lampstands with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;

And the candlesticks with their lamps, to light them after the prescribed manner before the debir, of pure gold.

21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold;

And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, were of gold, the purest of gold;

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.

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.
