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.
