2 Chronicles 4

1 Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length of it, and twenty cubits the breadth of it, and ten cubits the hight of it.

2 And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the hight of it; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it.

3 And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.

And under it [was] the similitude of oxen, which encompassed it: ten in a cubit, encompassing the sea. Two rows of oxen [were] cast, when it was cast.

4 It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.

It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking towards the north, and three looking towards the west, and three looking towards the south, and three looking towards the east: and the sea [was set] above upon them, and all their hinder parts [were] inward.

5 It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take three thousand baths.

And the thickness of it [was] a hand-breadth, 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 And he made ten washing-vessels, putting five on the right side and five on the left; such things as were used in making the burned offering were washed in them; but the great water-vessel was to be used by the priests for washing themselves.

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 the ten gold supports for the lights, as directions had been given for them, and he put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left.

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 ten tables, and put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred gold basins.

He made also ten tables, and placed [them] in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold.

9 Then he made the open space for the priests, and the great open space and its doors, plating the doors with brass.

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 He put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house to the east, facing south.

And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.

11 And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:

And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;

12 The two pillars, and the two crowns on the tops of the pillars, and the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the tops of the pillars;

[To wit], the two pillars, and the pommels, and the capitals [which were] on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the capitals which [were] on the top of the pillars;

13 And the four hundred apples for the network, two lines of apples for the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the pillars.

And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the capitals which [were] upon the pillars.

14 And he made the ten bases and the ten washing-vessels which were on the bases;

He made also bases, and lavers he made upon the bases;

15 The great water-vessel with the twelve oxen under it.

One sea, and twelve oxen under it.

16 All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.

17 The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.

In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.

18 So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.

Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be ascertained.

19 And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,

And Solomon made all the vessels that [were for] the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the show-bread [was set];

20 And the supports for the lights with their lights, to be burning in the regular way in front of the inmost room, of the best gold;

Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;

21 The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.

And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, [made he of] gold, [and] that perfect gold;

22 The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.

And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, [of] pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy [place], and the doors of the house of the temple, [were of] gold.
