40He also made the potsw and shovels and sprinkling bowls.w

So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the Lord:

41the two pillars;

the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

42the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network decorating the bowl-shaped capitalsx on top of the pillars);

43the ten stands with their ten basins;

44the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

45the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.y

All these objects that Huramz made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of burnished bronze. 46The king had them cast in clay molds in the plaina of the Jordan between Sukkothb and Zarethan.c 47Solomon left all these things unweighed,d because there were so many;e the weight of the bronzef was not determined.

48Solomon also made allg the furnishings that were in the Lord’s temple:

the golden altar;

the golden tableh on which was the bread of the Presence;i

49the lampstandsj of pure gold (five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary);

the gold floral work and lamps and tongs;

50the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishesk and censers;l

and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Holy Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the temple.

51When all the work King Solomon had done for the temple of the Lord was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicatedm—the silver and gold and the furnishingsn—and he placed them in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple.
