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.
