2 Chronicles

4 And he made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof,—and ten cubits the height thereof.

2 And he made a molten sea,—ten—by the cubit from the one brim thereof into the other brim thereof it was round all about and five—by the cubit was the height thereof, and a line—of thirty by the cubit did compass it round about.

3 And the likeness of oxen was under it round about on every side encircling it, ten in a cubit going round the sea on every side,—two rows of oxen made in the casting.

4 It was standing 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, the sea being upon them above,—and all their hinder parts inward.

5 And the thickness thereof was a hand-breadth, and the brim thereof was like the brim-work of a cup, with blossoms of lilies,—it could hold [many] baths, three thousand would it contain.

6 And he made ten lavers, and set five on the right hand—and five on the left to bathe therein, what is offered as an ascending-sacrifice do they rinse therein,—but the sea was that the priests should bathe therein.

7 And he made ten lampstands of gold according to the regulation thereof,—and set in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left.

8 And he made ten tables, and placed in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left,—and he made a hundred tossing bowls of gold.

9 And he made the court of the priests, and the large enclosure,—and doors to the enclosure, and the doors thereof overlaid he with bronze.

10 And the sea he set on the right side of the house eastward over against the south.

11 And Huram made—the pans, and the shovels and the tossing bowls,—and Huram finished doing the work, which he did for King Solomon in the house of God:—

12 two pillars, and the bowls and the capitals on the top of the two pillars, and the two frames of checker work, to cover the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the top of the pillars;

13 and four hundred pomegranates for the two frames,—two rows of pomegranates for each frame, for covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the face of the pillars;

14 and the stands made he,—and the lavers made he upon the stands;

15 the one sea,—and the twelve oxen under it;

16 and the pans and the shovels and the flesh-hooks and all the vessels made Huram his father for King Solomon for the house of Yahweh,—of burnished bronze.

17 In the circuit of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.

18 So Solomon made all these utensils in great abundance,—for the weight of the bronze could not be searched out.

19 Yea Solomon made all the utensils which were for the house of God,—and the altar of gold, and the tables, whereon was the Presence-bread;

20 and the lamp-holders and their lamps that they should burn according to the regulation before the shrine of purified gold;

21 and the blossom-work and the lamps and the tongs of gold,—the same was the purest gold;

22 and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the censers of purified gold,—and the entrance of the house, the inner doors thereof for the holy of holies and the doors of the house of the temple were of gold.
