2 Chronicles 4

1 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.2 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 compassed it round about.3 And under it was the likeness 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.4 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.5 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.6 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.7 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.8 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.9 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.10 And he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.11 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 God:12 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,13 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 pillars.14 He made also the bases, and the lavers made he upon the bases;15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels thereof, did Huram his father make for king Solomon for the house of Jehovah of bright brass.17 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon was the showbread;20 and the candlesticks with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold;21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold;22 and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, 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, to wit, of the temple, were of gold.

2 Chronicles 4

1 He made a bronze altar, 30 feett long, 30 feett wide, and 15 feett high.2 He also made the big bronze basin called “The Sea.”ts It measured 15 feett from rim to rim, was circular in shape, and stood seven and one-half feett high. Its circumference was 45 feet.t3 Images of bulls were under it all the way around, ten every eighteen inchest all the way around. The bulls were in two rows and had been cast with “The Sea.”4 “The Sea” stood on top of twelve bulls. Three faced northward, three westward, three southward, and three eastward. “The Sea” was placed on top of them, and they all faced outward.t5 It was four fingers thick and its rim was like that of a cup shaped like a lily blossom. It could hold 18,000 gallons.t

6 He made ten washing basins; he put five on the south side and five on the north side. In them they rinsed the items used for burnt sacrifices; the priests washed in “The Sea.”
7 He made ten gold lampstands according to specifications and put them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left.8 He made ten tables and set them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left. He also made one hundred gold bowls.9 He made the courtyard of the priests and the large enclosure and its doors;t he plated their doors with bronze.

10 He put “The Sea” on the south side, in the southeast corner.
11 Huram Abit made the pots, shovels, and bowls. He finished all the work on God’s temple he had been assigned by King Solomon.t12 He madet the two pillars, the two bowl-shaped tops of the pillars, the latticework for the bowl-shaped tops of the two pillars,13 the four hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments for the latticework of the two pillars (each latticework had two rows of these ornaments at the bowl-shaped top of the pillar),14 the tens movable stands with their tens basins,15 the big bronze basin called “The Sea” with its twelve bulls underneath,16 and the pots, shovels, and meat forks.s All the items King Solomon assigned Huram Abi to make for the Lord’s templet were made from polished bronze.17 The king had them cast in earthen foundriest in the region of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.

18 Solomon made so many of these items they did not weigh the bronze.t
19 Solomon also made these items for God’s temple: the gold altar, the tables on which the Bread of the Presencets was kept,20 the pure gold lampstands and their lamps which burned as specified at the entrance to the inner sanctuary,21 the pure gold flower-shaped ornaments, lamps, and tongs,22 the pure gold trimming shears, basins, pans, and censers, and the gold door sockets for the inner sanctuary (the most holy place) and for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
