ESV

Chapter 4

¹He also made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high. ²Then he made the cast metal sea. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits regularly surrounded it. ³Under it were figures of oxen, all around it, ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast with the sea. ⁴It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward. ⁵Its thickness was a handbreadth. Its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held 3,000 baths. ⁶He also made ten basins in which to wash, and he set five on the right side and five on the left. In these they were to rinse off what was used for the burnt offering, and the sea was for the priests to wash in. ⁷He made ten golden lampstands as prescribed, and set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. ⁸He also made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made 100 basins of gold. ⁹He made the court of the priests and the great court and the doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze. ¹⁰And he set the sea on the southeast side of the house. ¹¹Huram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Huram finished the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God: ¹²the two pillars, the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars; ¹³and 400 pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars. ¹⁴He made the stands also, and the basins on the stands; ¹⁵and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath it. ¹⁶The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all their utensils, Huram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the LORD. ¹⁷In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. ¹⁸Solomon made all these things in great quantity, for the weight of the bronze was not ascertained. ¹⁹So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God: the golden altar, the tables for the bread of the Presence; ²⁰the lampstands of pure gold with their lamps, to burn before the inner sanctuary, as prescribed; ²¹the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of purest gold; ²²the snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and firepans, of pure gold; and the entrance to the house, its inner doors to the Most Holy Place and the doors of the nave of the temple, of gold.
