Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the
length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height
thereof
04:002
Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to
brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of
thirty cubits did compass it round about
04:003
And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass
it round about, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about. The oxen were in
two rows, cast when it was cast
04:004
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 upon them above, and all their
hinder parts were inward
04:005
And it was a handbreadth thick; and the brim thereof was
wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held
three thousand baths
04:006
He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand,
and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the
burnt-offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in
04:007
And he made the ten candlesticks of gold according to the
ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right
hand, and five on the left
04:008
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
04:009
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
04:010
And he set the sea on the right side of the house
eastward, toward the south
04:011
And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins.
So Huram made an end of doing the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the
house of G-d
04:012
the two pillars, and the bowls, and the two capitals which
were on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of
the capitals that were on the top of the pillars
04:013
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks:
two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the
capitals that were upon the top of the pillars
04:014
He made also the bases, and the lavers made he upon the
bases
04:015
one sea, and the twelve oxen under it
04:016
The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and
all the vessels thereof, did Huram his master craftsman make for king Solomon
for the house of HaShem of bright brass
04:017
In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the
clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah
04:018
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance;
for the weight of the brass could not be found out
04:019
And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of
G-d, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon was the showbread
04:020
and the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should
burn according to the ordinance before the Sanctuary, of pure gold
04:021
and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold,
and that perfect gold
04:022
and the snuffers, and the basins, and the pans, and the
fire-pans, of pure gold. And as for the entry of the house, the inner doors
thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house, that is, of the
temple, were of gold
