Then ahe made a bronze altar, 1twenty cubits in length, 2twenty cubits in width, and 3ten cubits in height. aHe also made the 1Sea of cast metal, 2ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was 3five cubits and 4its circumference 5thirty cubits. Now figures like oxen were under it and all around it, 1ten cubits, entirely encircling the Sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast 2in one piece. It was standing on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the Sea was set on top of them and all their hindquarters turned inward. It was a 1hand width thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it acould hold three thousand 2baths. aHe also made ten basins in which to wash, and he set five on the right side and five on the left 1to rinse things for the burnt offering; but the Sea was for the priests to wash in.

Then ahe made the ten golden lampstands in the way prescribed for them, and he set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. He also made aten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred golden bowls. Then he made athe courtyard of the priests and bthe great courtyard, and doors for the courtyard, and overlaid their doors with bronze. 10 aHe put the Sea on the right side of the house toward the southeast.

11 aHuram also made the pails, the shovels, and the bowls. So Huram finished the work that he did for King Solomon in the house of God: 12 the two pillars, the bowls and the two capitals on top of the pillars, and the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on top of the pillars, 13 and athe four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for each latticework to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the pillars. 14 aHe also made the stands and he made the basins on the stands, 15 and the one Sea with the twelve oxen under it. 16 The pails, the shovels, the forks, and all its utensils, aHuram-abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon, for the house of the LORD. 17 On the plain of the Jordan the king cast them in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. 18 aSo Solomon made all these utensils in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

19 Solomon also made all the things that were in the house of God: the golden altar, athe tables with the bread of the Presence on them, 20 the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, ato burn in front of the inner sanctuary in the way prescribed; 21 the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold, that is, of purest gold; 22 and the snuffers, the bowls, the spoons, and the firepans of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the Most Holy Place and the doors of the house, that is, of the main room, of gold.

Then ahe made a bronze altar, 1twenty cubits in length and twenty cubits in width and ten cubits in height. aAnd he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and 1thirty cubits in 2its circumference.

It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. And it was a 1handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it acould hold 3,000 baths. aHe also made ten lavers and set five on the right side and five on the left, in which to wash things, that is, in which they would rinse things for the burnt offering; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

Then ahe made the ten golden lampstands 1in the way prescribed for them and he put them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. He also made aten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made one hundred golden bowls. Then he made athe court of the priests and bthe great court and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze. 10 aAnd he put the sea on the right 1side of the house toward the southeast.

11 aAnd Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram completed doing the work which he did for King Solomon in the house of God: 12 the two pillars and the two bowls and the two capitals on top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on top of the pillars, 13 and athe four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the pillars. 14 aHe also made the stands and he made the lavers on the stands, 15 and the one sea with the twelve oxen under it. 16 And the pots and the shovels and the flesh hooks and all its utensils, aHuram-abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon for the house of Yahweh. 17 On the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. 18 aThus Solomon made all these utensils in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.

19 Solomon also made all the furniture which was in the house of God: even the golden altar and athe tables with the bread of the Presence on them, 20 and the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, ato burn in front of the inner sanctuary 1in the way prescribed; 21 and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs of gold, of purest gold; 22 and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the Holy of Holies and the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold.
