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.

And he makes an altar of bronze: twenty cubits 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.

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.

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 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.

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 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.

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 [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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

And he has placed the sea on the right shoulder eastward, from toward 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 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;

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,

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;

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 the one network, to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [are] on the front of the pillars.

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

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

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

The king has cast them in the circuit of the Jordan, in the thick soil of the 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 makes all these vessels in great abundance, that the weight of the bronze has not been searched out.

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 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;

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

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

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 of gold—it [is] the perfection 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 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.
