2 Chronicles 4

¹He made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and ten cubits in height.

²He made the sea of cast metal, ten cubits from rim to rim, circular all around, five cubits in height, and a line of thirty cubits encircled it all around.

³Figures of oxen were beneath it, encircling it all around, ten to a cubit encircling the sea all around; two rows of oxen were cast when it was cast.

⁴It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; the sea was upon them above, and all their hindquarters were inward.

⁵Its thickness was a handbreadth, and its rim was made like the rim of a cup, like a lily flower. It held three thousand baths.

⁶He made ten basins for washing, and set five on the right and five on the left, to rinse in them what belonged to the burnt offering; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

⁷He made ten golden lampstands as prescribed and placed them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left.

⁸He made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. He also made a hundred bowls of gold.

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

¹⁰The sea he set on the right side, toward the east, opposite the south.

¹¹Huram-abi made the pots, the shovels, and the bowls. So Huram-abi finished all the work he did for King Solomon on the house of God:

¹²The two pillars, the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the pillars, the two latticeworks to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the pillars,

¹³Four hundred pomegranates were on the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates on each latticework, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars.

¹⁴the stands, and the basins on the stands;

¹⁵one sea, and the twelve oxen beneath it.

¹⁶the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all their vessels that Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze.

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

¹⁸Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, for the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

¹⁹Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God: the golden altar, the tables on which the bread of the Presence rested,

²⁰the lampstands with their lamps, to burn before the inner sanctuary as prescribed, of pure gold;

²¹the blossoms, the lamps, and the tongs, of pure gold;

²²the wick trimmers, the sprinkling bowls, the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the door-sockets of the house, the innermost doors for the Most Holy Place and the doors of the nave of the temple, of gold.
