2 Chronicles 4

1Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

1And he maketh an altar of brass, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.

1He made also an altar of brass twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits broad, and ten cubits high.

2And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

2And he maketh the molten sea; ten by the cubit, from its edge unto its edge, round in compass, and five by the cubit its height, and a line of thirty by the cubit doth compass it, round about.

2Also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass: it was five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.

3And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.

3And the likeness of oxen <FI>is<Fi> under it, all round about encompassing it, ten in the cubit, compassing the sea round about; two rows of oxen are cast in its being cast.

3And under it there was the likeness of oxen, and certain engravings on the outside of ten cubits compassed the belly of the sea, as it were with two rows.

4It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.

4It is standing on twelve oxen, three facing the north, and three facing the west, and three facing the south, and three facing the east, and the sea <FI>is<Fi> upon them above, and all their hinder parts <FI>are<Fi> within.

4And the oxen were cast: and the sea itself was set upon the twelve oxen, three of which looked toward the north, and other three toward the west: and other three toward the south, and the other three that remained toward the east, and the sea stood upon them: and the hinder parts of the oxen were inward under the sea.

5It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take three thousand baths.

5And its thickness <FI>is<Fi> a handbreadth, and its lip as the work of the lip of a cup flowered with lilies; taking hold--baths three thousand it containeth.

5Now the thickness of it was a handbreadth, and the brim of it was like the brim of a cup, or of a crisped lily: and it held three thousand measures.

6And he made ten washing-vessels, putting five on the right side and five on the left; such things as were used in making the burned offering were washed in them; but the great water-vessel was to be used by the priests for washing themselves.

6And he maketh ten lavers, and putteth five on the right, and five on the left, to wash with them; the work of the burnt-offering they purge with them; and the sea <FI>is<Fi> for priests to wash with.

6He made also ten lavers: and he set five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them all such things as they were to offer for holocausts: but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

7And he made the ten gold supports for the lights, as directions had been given for them, and he put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left.

7And he maketh the ten candlesticks of gold, according to their ordinance, and placeth in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.

7And he made ten golden candlesticks, according to the form which they were commanded to be made by: and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

8He made ten tables, and put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred gold basins.

8And he maketh ten tables, and placeth in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left; and he maketh bowls of gold a hundred.

8Moreover also ten tables: and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. Also a hundred bowls of gold.

9Then he made the open space for the priests, and the great open space and its doors, plating the doors with brass.

9And he maketh the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and their doors he hath overlaid with brass.

9He made also the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.

10He put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house to the east, facing south.

10And the sea he hath placed on the right shoulder eastward, over-against the south.

10And he set the sea on the right side over against the east toward the south.

11And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:

11And Huram maketh the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls, and Huram finisheth to make the work that he made for king Solomon in the house of God;

11And Hiram made caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls: and finished all the king's work the house of God:

12The two pillars, and the two crowns on the tops of the pillars, and the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the tops of the pillars;

12two pillars, and the bowls, and the crowns on the heads of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two bowls of the crowns that <FI>are<Fi> on the heads of the pillars;

12That is to say, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters, and the network, to cover the chapiters over the pommels.

13And the four hundred apples for the network, two lines of apples for the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the pillars.

13and the pomegranates four hundred to the two wreaths, two rows of pomegranates to the one wreath, to cover the two bowls of the crowns that <FI>are<Fi> on the front of the pillars.

13And four hundred pomegranates, and two wreaths of network, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each wreath, to cover the pommels, and the chapiters of the pillars.

14And he made the ten bases and the ten washing-vessels which were on the bases;

14And the bases he hath made; and the lavers he hath made on the bases;

14He made also bases, and lavers, which he set upon the bases:

15The great water-vessel with the twelve oxen under it.

15the one sea, and the twelve oxen under it,

15One sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

16All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

16and the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their vessels, hath Huram his father made for king Solomon, for the house of Jehovah, of brass purified.

16And the caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls. All the vessels did Hiram his father make for Solomon in the house of the Lord of the finest brass.

17The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.

17In the circuit of the Jordan hath the king cast them, in the thick soil of the ground, between Succoth and Zeredathah.

17In the country near the Jordan did the king cast them, in a clay ground between Sochot and Saredatha.

18So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.

18And Solomon maketh all these vessels in great abundance, that the weight of the brass hath not been searched out.

18And the multitude of vessels was innumerable, so that the weight of the brass was not known.

19And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,

19And Solomon maketh all the vessels that <FI>are for<Fi> the house of God, and the altar of gold, and the tables, and on them <FI>is<Fi> bread of the presence;

19And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the golden altar, and the tables, upon which were the loaves of proposition,

20And the supports for the lights with their lights, to be burning in the regular way in front of the inmost room, of the best gold;

20and the candlesticks, and their lamps, for their burning according to the ordinance, before the oracle, of gold refined;

20The candlesticks also of most pure gold with their lamps to give light before the oracle, according to the manner.

21The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.

21and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold--it <FI>is<Fi> the perfection of gold;

21And certain flowers, and lamps, and golden tongs: all were made of the finest gold.

22The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.

22and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the censers, of gold refined, and the opening of the house, its innermost doors to the holy of holies, and the doors of the house to the temple, of gold.

22The vessels also for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the mortars, of pure gold. And he graved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the holy of holies: and the doors of the temple without were of gold. And thus all the work was finished which Solomon made in the house of the Lord.
