Furnishings of the Temple

4 Moreover he made aa bronze altar: twenty cubits was its length, twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.

2 bThen he made the 1Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. 3 cAnd under it was the likeness of oxen encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The oxen were cast in two rows, when it was cast. 4 It stood on twelve doxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward. 5 It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained 2three thousand baths.

6 He also made eten lavers, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they would wash in them, but the 3Sea was for the fpriests to wash in. 7 gAnd he made ten lampstands of gold haccording to their design, and set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. 8 iHe also made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made one hundred jbowls of gold.

9 Furthermore khe made the court of the priests, and the lgreat court and doors for the court; and he overlaid these doors with bronze. 10 mHe set the Sea on the right side, toward the southeast.

11 Then nHuram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of God: 12 the two pillars and othe bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the pillars; 13 pfour hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on the pillars); 14 he also made qcarts and the lavers on the carts; 15 one Sea and twelve oxen under it; 16 also the pots, the shovels, the forks—and all their articles rHuram his 4master craftsman made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the Lord.

17 In the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between Succoth and 5Zeredah. 18 sAnd Solomon had all these articles made in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze was not determined.

19 Thus tSolomon had all the furnishings made for the house of God: the altar of gold and the tables on which was uthe showbread; 20 the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn vin the prescribed manner in front of the inner sanctuary, 21 with wthe flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold, of purest gold; 22 the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold. As for the entry of the 6sanctuary, its inner doors to the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple, were gold.
