2 Chronicles 4:1-16 ▼

1 And he made a bronze altar, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.

2 And he made the molten Sea, ten by the cubit from one brim to the other, round in compass, and five cubits its height, and a line of thirty by the cubit surrounding it all around.

3 And the likeness of oxen was under it encompassing it all around, ten to a cubit, encircling around the Sea. In two rows the oxen were cast in its being cast.

4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, and three facing west, and three facing south, and three facing east. And the sea was upon them, and all their hindquarters were inward.

5 And its thickness was a handbreadth, and its lip as the work of the lip of a cup, a lily blossom, taking hold. It contained three thousand baths.

6 And He made ten basins, and he put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; the work of the burnt offering they would wash in them. And the Sea was for the priests to wash in.

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

8 And he made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left. And he made a hundred bowls of gold.

9 And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and the doors for the court, and their doors he overlaid with bronze.

10 And the Sea he set on the right side eastward, over against the south.

11 And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the sprinkling bowls. And Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon in the house of God:

12 The two pillars; and the bowls, and the capitals on top of the two pillars; and the two networks covering the two bowls of the capitals that were on top of the pillars;

13 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the face of the pillars);

14 and also he made the carts; and he made the basins on the carts;

15 the one Sea, and the twelve oxen under it;

16 and the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their articles. Huram-Abi made these for King Solomon for the house of YHWH of polished bronze.
