1
Moreover he made an altar of brass, twentycubits the length thereof, and twentycubits the breadth thereof, and tencubits the height thereof.
2
Also he made a moltensea of tencubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and fivecubits the height thereof; and a line of thirtycubits did compass it roundabout.
3
And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Tworows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
4
It stood upon twelveoxen, threelooking toward the north, and threelooking toward the west, and threelooking toward the south, and threelooking 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 heldthreethousandbaths.
6
He made also tenlavers, and putfive on the right hand, and five on the left, to washin them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washedin them; but the sea was for the priests to washin.
7
And he madetencandlesticks 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 tentables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundredbasons of gold.
9
Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the greatcourt, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
10
And he set the sea on the rightside of the east end, over against the south.
11
And Hurammade the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huramfinished the work that he was to make for kingSolomon for the house of God;
12
To wit, the twopillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the twopillars, and the twowreaths to cover the twopommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars;
13
And fourhundredpomegranates on the twowreaths; tworows of pomegranates on eachwreath, to cover the twopommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars.
14
He made also bases, and laversmade he upon the bases;
15Onesea, and twelveoxen under it.
16
The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his fathermake to kingSolomon for the house of the LORD of brightbrass.
17
In the plain of Jordan did the kingcast them, in the clayground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18
Thus Solomonmade all these vessels in greatabundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
19
And Solomonmade all the vessels that were for the house of God, the goldenaltar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;
20
Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the mannerbefore the oracle, of puregold;
21
And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfectgold;
22
And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of puregold: and the entry of the house, the innerdoors thereof for the mostholy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
