2Also he made a melted and cast sea of ten cubits (15 feet) from brim to brim (its diameter), round in compass, and five cubits (7½ feet) its height; and a line of thirty cubits (45 feet) did compass it round about (its circumference). 3And under it were the figures of oxen, which encircling it; ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast in one piece. 4It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing toward the north, and three facing toward the west, and three facing toward the south, and three facing toward the east; and the sea was set upon them, and all their hindquarters turned inward. 5And the thickness of the sea was a handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; and it could hold three thousand baths (17,400 gallons).

6He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them. They washed such things as they offered for the burnt offerings in the lavers; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

7And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

8He 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.

9Furthermore, he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with bronze. 10And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, toward the south.

11And Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for King Solomon for the temple of God, 12To wit, the two pillars, the bowls, the capitals for on the top of the two pillars, the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; 13And four hundred pomegranates on the two networks (wreaths); two rows of pomegranates on each network (wreath), to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were upon the pillars. 14He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases; 15One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 16The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram, his father, make for King Solomon for the temple of the LORD of polished bronze. 17In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. 18Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance; for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.

19And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the temple of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the showbread was set; 20Moreover, the lampstands with their lamps, that they should burn, according to the ordinance, before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; 21And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold; 22And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold. And the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
