-
1 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
-
2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
-
3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
-
4 It stood upon 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 above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
-
5 And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.
-
6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
-
7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, 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. And he made an hundred basons of gold.
-
9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
-
10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.
-
11 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
-
12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars;
-
13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars.
-
14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;
-
15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
-
16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.
-
17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
-
18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
-
19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;
-
20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
-
21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold;
-
22 And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.

- 1 Then he made a bronze altar, twenty cubits in length and twenty cubits in width and ten cubits in height.
- 2 Also he made the cast metal sea, ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits and its circumference thirty cubits.
- 3 Now figures like oxen were under it and all around it, ten cubits, entirely encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast in one piece.
- 4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them and all their hindquarters turned inwards.
- 5 It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it could hold 3,000 baths.
- 6 He also made ten basins in which to wash, and he set five on the right side and five on the left to rinse things for the burnt offering; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
- 7 Then he made the ten golden lampstands in the way prescribed for them and he set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left.
- 8 He also made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made one hundred golden bowls.
- 9 Then he made the court of the priests and the great court and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.
- 10 He set the sea on the right side of the house toward the southeast.
- 11 Huram also made the pails, the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of God:
- 12 the two pillars, the bowls and the two capitals on top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on top 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 which were on the pillars.
- 14 He also made the stands and he made the basins on the stands,
- 15 and the one sea with the twelve oxen under it.
- 16 The pails, the shovels, the forks and all its utensils, Huram-abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the LORD.
- 17 On the plain of the Jordan the king cast them in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.
- 18 Thus Solomon made all these utensils in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
- 19 Solomon also made all the things that were in the house of God: even the golden altar, the tables with the bread of the Presence on them,
- 20 the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary in the way prescribed;
- 21 the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold, of purest gold;
- 22 and the snuffers, the bowls, the spoons and the firepans of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the holy of holies and the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold.
