1 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length of
it, and twenty cubits the breadth of it, and ten cubits the height of it.
2 Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in
compass; and the height of it was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits
compassed it round about. 3 Under it was the likeness of oxen, which did
compass it round about, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about. The
oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast. 4 It stood on 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 on them above, and all their hinder parts were inward. 5 It was a
handbreadth thick; and the brim of it was worked like the brim of a cup, like
the flower of a lily: it received and held three thousand baths. 6 He made
also ten basins, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to
wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt-offering they washed in
them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. 7 He made the ten
lampstands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set
them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 8 He
made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side,
and five on the left. He made one hundred basins of gold. 9 Furthermore he
made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court,
and overlaid the doors of them with brass. 10 He set the sea on the right
side of the house eastward, toward the south. 11 Huram made the
pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Huram made an end of doing the work
that he did for king Solomon in the house of God: 12 the two pillars, and
the bowls, and the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, and the
two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of
the pillars, 13 and the four hundred 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. 14 He made also the bases, and the
basins made he on the bases; 15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.
16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all the
vessels of it, did Huram his father make for king Solomon for the house of
Yahweh of bright brass. 17 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast
them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. 18 Thus Solomon made
all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not
be found out. 19 Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of
God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon was the show bread;
20 and the lampstands with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance
before the oracle, of pure gold; 21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and
the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold; 22 and the snuffers, and the
basins, and the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold: and as for the entry
of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy place, and the doors of
the house, to wit, of the temple, were of gold.
