15rAlso he made before the house two pillars of sthirty and five cubits †high, and the chapiter that was on the top of each of them was five cubits. 16And he made chains, as in tthe oracle, and put them on the heads of the pillars; and made uan hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 17And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand ||Jachin, and the name of that on the left ||Boaz.

4Moreover he made aan altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.

2bAlso he made a molten sea of ten cubits †from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 3And under it was the similitude of coxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast. 4It 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 above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 5And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, ||with flowers of lilies; and it received and held dthree thousand baths.

6He made also eten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: †such things as they offered for the burnt offering they fwashed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. 7And he made gten candlesticks of gold haccording to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 8He made also iten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred ||basons of gold. 9Furthermore he made jthe court of the priests, and kthe great court, and doors for kthe court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass. 10And lhe set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.

11mAnd Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the ||basons. And Huram †finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God; 12To wit, the two pillars, and nthe pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars; 13And ofour hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the ntwo pommels of the chapiters which were †upon the pillars. 14He made also pbases, and ||lavers made he upon the bases; 15One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 16The pots also, and the shovels, and qthe fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did rHuram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the Lord of †bright brass. 17In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the †clay ground between Succoth and sZeredathah. 18Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for tthe weight of the brass could not be found out.
