📚Moreover, he made a bronze altar, twenty cubits in length and twenty cubits in width and ten cubits in height. 2 📚📚Also he made a cast metal sea ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form; and its height was five cubits, and it took a cord of thirty cubits to go around it. 3 📚And below the rim were figures of oxen, which completely encircled the sea, ten in a cubit. When the sea was cast two rows of oxen were also 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 top of them, and all their back parts were toward the inside. 5 📚And the thickness of the sea was a hand breadth, and its brim like the work of the rim of a cup, like a lily flower; and it received and held three thousand baths 📖.
6 📚He also made ten lavers, and put five on the right and five on the left, to wash in them. They washed in them the things they offered for the burnt offering, but the sea was for the priests to wash themselves.
7 📚And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their specification, and set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left.
4:7 Ex 25:31-38; 1 Kings 7:49. There was only one lampstand in the tabernacle.⚜
8 📚He made also ten tables 📖, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold.
9 📚And he made the courtyard of the priests, and the great courtyard, and doors for the courtyard 📖, and overlaid their doors with bronze. 10 📚And he set the sea at the right side of the east end, opposite the south.
11 📚And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for King Solomon for the house of God: 12 📚the two pillars, and the bowl shaped tops, and the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two woven networks to cover the two bowl shaped tops of the capitals which were on top of the pillars, 13 📚and four hundred pomegranates on the two woven networks, two rows of pomegranates on each network, to cover the two bowl shaped tops of the capitals which were on the pillars. 14 📚He also made the stands and made the lavers on the stands, 15 one sea, and twelve oxen under it. 16 📚Also Huram Abi used burnished bronze to make the pots and the shovels and the forks, and all their articles, for King Solomon for the house of the LORD. 17 📚The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 📚And Solomon made all these articles in great abundance, so that the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
19 📚And Solomon made all the articles that were for the house of God, including the golden altar, and the tables on which the Showbread was placed, 20 📚and the lampstands with their lamps with pure gold, to burn before the sanctuary as specified; 21 📚and made the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, with gold, solid gold; 22 📚and the snuffers and the basins and the spoons and the censers, with pure gold. And the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
