Also, he made a brass altar of twenty cubits in length, and of twenty cubits in width, and of ten cubits in height,

2 And he made the sea cast ten by the cubit from lip its to lip its round - all around and five by the cubit height its and a measuring-line thirty by the cubit it went round it all around.

as well as a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in its circumference. It had five cubits in height, and a line of thirty cubits went around it on all sides.

3 And [the] likeness of oxen [was] under it all around - all around going round it ten by the cubit surrounding the sea all around [were] two rows the cattle cast in casting its.

Also, under it there was the likeness of oxen. And certain engravings encircled the cavity of the sea, along ten cubits of the outside, as if in two rows. Now the oxen were molten.

And the sea itself was placed upon the twelve oxen, three of which were looking toward the north, and another three toward the west, then another three toward the south, and the three that remained toward the east, having the sea imposed upon them. But the posteriors of the oxen were toward the interior, under the sea.

5 And thickness its [was] a hand breadth and lip its [was] like [the] work of [the] lip of a cup [the] blossom of a lily holding baths three thousand it contained.

Now its thickness had the measure of the palm of a hand, and its brim was like the lip of a cup, or like the outturned petal of a lily. And it held three thousand measures.

6 And he made lavers ten and he put five from [the] south and five from [the] left to wash in them [the] work of the burnt offering people rinsed in them and the sea to wash [was] for the priests in it.

Also, he made ten basins. And he placed five on the right, and five on the left, so that they might wash in them all the things that they were to offer as holocausts. But the priests were to be washed in the sea.

7 And he made [the] lampstands of gold ten according to ordinance their and he put [them] in the temple five from [the] south and five from [the] north.

Then he also made ten gold lampstands, according to the form by which they had been ordered to be made. And he set them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.

8 And he made tables ten and he placed [them] in the temple five from [the] south and five from [the] north and he made bowls of gold one hundred.

Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.

Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.

11 And he made Huram the pots and the shovels and the bowls. And he finished (Huram *Q(K)*) to do the work which he did for the king Solomon on [the] house of God.

Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king in the house of God,

12 Pillars two and the bowls and the capitals on [the] top of the pillars two and the networks two to cover [the] two [the] bowls of the capitals which [were] on [the] top of the pillars.

that is, the two pillars, and the crossbeams, and the heads, and something like a little net, which would cover the heads above the crossbeams,

13 And the pomegranates four hundred for [the] two the networks two rows pomegranates for the network one to cover [the] two [the] bowls of the capitals which [were] on [the] face of the pillars.

17 In [the] valley of the Jordan he cast them the king in [the] thickness of the ground between Succoth and between Zeredah.

The king cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.

18 And he made Solomon all the articles these to abundance exceedingly that not it was ascertained [the] weight of the bronze.

Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.

19 And he made Solomon all the articles which [were] [the] house of God and [the] altar of gold and the tables and on them [the] bread of the presence.

And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the gold altar, and the tables upon which were the bread of the presence;

And the doors of the outer temple were of gold. And so, every work was completed that Solomon made in the house of the Lord.
