2 Chronicles 3:15–4:18

¹⁵He made two pillars for the front of the temple. They were 53 feet long, and the capital on each pillar was 7½ feet ⸤high⸥. ¹⁶He made chains for the inner room and ⸤also⸥ put them on the capitals. He made 100 pomegranates and put them on the chains. ¹⁷He set up the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right and the other on the left. He named the one on the right Jachin ^[He Establishes^[ and the one on the left Boaz ^[In Him Is Strength^[. 

4TH CHAPTER

¹He made a bronze altar 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 15 feet high. 

²Huram made a pool from cast metal. It was 15 feet in diameter. It was round, 7½ feet high, and had a circumference of 45 feet. ³Under the rim were two rows of figurines shaped like bulls all around the 45-foot circumference of the pool. They were cast in metal when the pool was cast. ⁴The pool was set on 12 metal bulls. Three bulls faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east. The pool was set on them, and their hindquarters were toward the center ⸤of the pool⸥. ⁵The pool was three inches thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup, shaped like a lily’s bud. It held 18,000 gallons. 

⁶Huram also made ten basins for washing and put five on the south side and five on the north side. The priests rinsed the meat prepared for the burnt offerings in them. They used the pool to wash themselves. 

⁷Huram made ten gold lamp stands according to their specifications and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side. ⁸He made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side. And he made 100 gold bowls. 

⁹He also made the priests’ courtyard and the large courtyard and its doors. He covered the doors with bronze. ¹⁰He set the pool on the south side in the southeast ⸤corner⸥. ¹¹Huram also made the pots, shovels, and bowls. 

So Huram finished the work for King Solomon in God’s temple: ¹²2 pillars, bowl-shaped capitals on top of the 2 pillars, and 2 sets of filigree to cover the 2 bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars, ¹³400 pomegranates for the 2 sets of filigree (2 rows of pomegranates for each filigree to cover the 2 bowl-shaped capitals on the pillars), ¹⁴10 stands and 10^abasins on the stands, ¹⁵1 pool and the 12 bulls under it, ¹⁶pots, shovels, and three-pronged forks. Huram made all of them out of polished bronze for the Lord’s temple at King Solomon’s request. ¹⁷The king cast them in foundries in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zeredah. ¹⁸Solomon made so many of these products that no one tried to determine how much the bronze weighed.
