2 Chronicles 4
1 Solomon’s workers made a square bronze altar that was 10 yards wide on each side, and it was 5 yards high.
| וַיַּ֙עַשׂ֙ מִזְבַּ֣ח נְחֹ֔שֶׁת עֶשְׂרִ֤ים אַמָּה֙ אָרְכֹּ֔ו וְעֶשְׂרִ֥ים אַמָּ֖ה רָחְבֹּ֑ו וְעֶ֥שֶׂר אַמֹּ֖ות קֹומָתֹֽו׃ ס |
2 They also made a very large round tank that was made of metal and cast [in a clay mold]. It was 10 yards wide/across, and 5 yards high. It was 15 yards around it.
| וַיַּ֥עַשׂ אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם מוּצָ֑ק עֶ֣שֶׂר בָּֽ֠אַמָּה מִשְּׂפָתֹ֨ו אֶל־שְׂפָתֹ֜ו עָגֹ֣ול ׀ סָבִ֗יב וְחָמֵ֤שׁ בָּֽאַמָּה֙ קֹֽומָתֹ֔ו וְקָו֙ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה יָסֹ֥ב אֹתֹ֖ו סָבִֽיב׃ |
3 Below the outer rim there were two rows of [small figures of] bulls that were part of the metal of the basin. Each row had 300 figures of bulls.
| וּדְמ֣וּת בְּקָרִים֩ תַּ֨חַת לֹ֜ו סָבִ֤יב ׀ סָבִיב֙ סֹובְבִ֣ים אֹתֹ֔ו עֶ֚שֶׂר בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה מַקִּיפִ֥ים אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם סָבִ֑יב שְׁנַ֤יִם טוּרִים֙ הַבָּקָ֔ר יְצוּקִ֖ים בְּמֻֽצַקְתֹּֽו׃ |
4 The basin was set on twelve [statues of] bulls. There were three statues that faced north, three that faced west, three that faced south, and three that faced east.
| עֹומֵ֞ד עַל־שְׁנֵ֧ים עָשָׂ֣ר בָּקָ֗ר שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה פֹנִ֣ים ׀ צָפֹ֡ונָה וּשְׁלֹושָׁה֩ פֹנִ֨ים ׀ יָ֜מָּה וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה ׀ פֹּנִ֣ים נֶ֗גְבָּה וּשְׁלֹשָׁה֙ פֹּנִ֣ים מִזְרָ֔חָה וְהַיָּ֥ם עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מִלְמָ֑עְלָה וְכָל־אֲחֹרֵיהֶ֖ם בָּֽיְתָה׃ |
5 The sides of the tank were 3 inches thick, and its rim was shaped like a cup that curved outward like the petals of flowers. The basin held about 16,500 gallons [of water].
| וְעָבְיֹ֣ו טֶ֔פַח וּשְׂפָתֹו֙ כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה שְׂפַת־כֹּ֔וס פֶּ֖רַח שֹֽׁושַׁנָּ֑ה מַחֲזִ֣יק בַּתִּ֔ים שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת אֲלָפִ֖ים יָכִֽיל׃ ס |
6 They also made ten basins for washing the [animals that were] to be sacrificed. The priests used the very large tank for washing themselves.
| וַיַּ֣עַשׂ כִּיֹּורִים֮ עֲשָׂרָה֒ וַ֠יִּתֵּן חֲמִשָּׁ֨ה מִיָּמִ֜ין וַחֲמִשָּׁ֤ה מִשְּׂמֹאול֙ לְרָחְצָ֣ה בָהֶ֔ם אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה הָעֹולָ֖ה יָדִ֣יחוּ בָ֑ם וְהַיָּ֕ם לְרָחְצָ֥ה לַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים בֹּֽו׃ ס |
7 They also made ten gold lampstands according to what Solomon had instructed them. They put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side.
| וַ֠יַּעַשׂ אֶת־מְנֹרֹ֧ות הַזָּהָ֛ב עֶ֖שֶׂר כְּמִשְׁפָּטָ֑ם וַיִּתֵּן֙ בַּֽהֵיכָ֔ל חָמֵ֥שׁ מִיָּמִ֖ין וְחָמֵ֥שׁ מִשְּׂמֹֽאול׃ ס |
8 They made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side. They also made 100 gold bowls.
| וַיַּ֣עַשׂ שֻׁלְחָנֹות֮ עֲשָׂרָה֒ וַיַּנַּח֙ בַּֽהֵיכָ֔ל חֲמִשָּׁ֥ה מִיָּמִ֖ין וַחֲמִשָּׁ֣ה מִשְּׂמֹ֑אול וַיַּ֛עַשׂ מִזְרְקֵ֥י זָהָ֖ב מֵאָֽה׃ |
9 They also constructed one courtyard for the priests, and a larger courtyard [for the other people]. They made doors for the courtyards and covered them with [thin sheets of] bronze.
| וַיַּ֙עַשׂ֙ חֲצַ֣ר הַכֹּהֲנִ֔ים וְהָעֲזָרָ֖ה הַגְּדֹולָ֑ה וּדְלָתֹ֧ות לָעֲזָרָ֛ה וְדַלְתֹותֵיהֶ֖ם צִפָּ֥ה נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃ |
10 They placed the very large tank [on the south side of the temple, ] at the southeast corner.
| וְאֶת־הַיָּ֗ם נָתַ֞ן מִכֶּ֧תֶף הַיְמָנִ֛ית קֵ֖דְמָה מִמּ֥וּל נֶֽגְבָּה׃ |
11 They also made pots and shovels [for the ashes of the altar], and other small bowls. So Huram [and his workers] finished the work that King Solomon had given him to do at the temple of God.
| וַיַּ֣עַשׂ חוּרָ֔ם אֶת־הַ֨סִּירֹ֔ות וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֖ים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְרָקֹ֑ות ס וַיְכַ֣ל חיּרָם (חוּרָ֗ם) לַעֲשֹׂות֙ אֶת־הַמְּלָאכָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֛ה לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה בְּבֵ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
12 [These were the things that they made: ] the two large pillars, the two bowl-shaped top parts on top of the pillars, the two sets of carvings that resembled chains to decorate the tops of the two pillars,
| עַמּוּדִ֣ים שְׁנַ֔יִם וְהַגֻּלֹּ֧ות וְהַכֹּתָרֹ֛ות עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָעַמּוּדִ֖ים שְׁתָּ֑יִם וְהַשְּׂבָכֹ֣ות שְׁתַּ֔יִם לְכַסֹּ֗ות אֶת־שְׁתֵּי֙ גֻּלֹּ֣ות הַכֹּֽתָרֹ֔ות אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָֽעַמּוּדִֽים׃ |
13 the 400 carvings that resembled pomegranates that were placed in two rows, that decorated the bowl-shaped tops of the two pillars,
| וְאֶת־הָֽרִמֹּונִ֛ים אַרְבַּ֥ע מֵאֹ֖ות לִשְׁתֵּ֣י הַשְּׂבָכֹ֑ות שְׁנַ֨יִם טוּרִ֤ים רִמֹּונִים֙ לַשְּׂבָכָ֣ה הָאֶחָ֔ת לְכַסֹּ֗ות אֶת־שְׁתֵּי֙ גֻּלֹּ֣ות הַכֹּֽתָרֹ֔ות אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָעַמּוּדִֽים׃ |
14 the stands, and the basins that were placed on them,
| וְאֶת־הַמְּכֹנֹ֖ות עָשָׂ֑ה וְאֶת־הַכִּיֹּרֹ֥ות עָשָׂ֖ה עַל־הַמְּכֹנֹֽות׃ |
15 the very large tank, and the [statues of] twelve bulls underneath it,
| אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם אֶחָ֑ד וְאֶת־הַבָּקָ֥ר שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֖ר תַּחְתָּֽיו׃ |
16 the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other things [needed for the work at the altar]. All those things that Huram [and his workers] made for King Solomon were made of polished bronze.
| וְאֶת־הַ֠סִּירֹות וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֤ים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְלָגֹות֙ וְאֶת־כָּל־כְּלֵיהֶ֔ם עָשָׂ֞ה חוּרָ֥ם אָבִ֛יו לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה לְבֵ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה נְחֹ֖שֶׁת מָרֽוּק׃ |
17 They made them by pouring melted bronze into the clay molds that Huram had set up near the Jordan [river] between Succoth and Zarethan [cities].
| בְּכִכַּ֤ר הַיַּרְדֵּן֙ יְצָקָ֣ם הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ בַּעֲבִ֖י הָאֲדָמָ֑ה בֵּ֥ין סֻכֹּ֖ות וּבֵ֥ין צְרֵדָֽתָה׃ |
18 All of those things that Solomon [told them to] make used a very large amount of bronze; no one tried to weigh it all.
| וַיַּ֧עַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה כָּל־הַכֵּלִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה לָרֹ֣ב מְאֹ֑ד כִּ֛י לֹ֥א נֶחְקַ֖ר מִשְׁקַ֥ל הַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃ פ |
19 Solomon’s workers also made all these things that were put at the temple: the golden altar, the tables on which the priests put the sacred bread,
| וַיַּ֣עַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַכֵּלִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר בֵּ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְאֵת֙ מִזְבַּ֣ח הַזָּהָ֔ב וְאֶת־הַשֻּׁלְחָנֹ֔ות וַעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם לֶ֥חֶם הַפָּנִֽים׃ |
20 the pure gold lampstands and the pure gold lamps, [in which the priests put oil] to burn in front of the Most Holy Place as God had told [Moses that the priests should do],
| וְאֶת־הַמְּנֹרֹ֞ות וְנֵרֹתֵיהֶ֗ם לְבַעֲרָ֧ם כַּמִּשְׁפָּ֛ט לִפְנֵ֥י הַדְּבִ֖יר זָהָ֥ב סָגֽוּר׃ |
21 the pure gold decorations that resembled flowers, and the lamps and tongs,
| וְהַפֶּ֧רַח וְהַנֵּרֹ֛ות וְהַמֶּלְקַחַ֖יִם זָהָ֑ב ה֖וּא מִכְלֹ֥ות זָהָֽב׃ |
22 the pure gold wick trimmers and bowls for sprinkling, and dishes and lamp snuffers, the gold doors of the temple and the doors to the main hall.
| וְהַֽמְזַמְּרֹ֧ות וְהַמִּזְרָקֹ֛ות וְהַכַּפֹּ֥ות וְהַמַּחְתֹּ֖ות זָהָ֣ב סָג֑וּר וּפֶ֣תַח הַ֠בַּיִת דַּלְתֹותָ֨יו הַפְּנִימִיֹּ֜ות לְקֹ֣דֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁ֗ים וְדַלְתֵ֥י הַבַּ֛יִת לַהֵיכָ֖ל זָהָֽב׃ |
