2 Chronicles 4

Thomson(i) 1 And he made an altar of brass, the length of it was twenty cubits and the breadth twenty cubits and the height ten cubits. 2 And he made the molten sea, ten cubits the diameter, with a border round about, and five cubits the height and thirty cubits the circumference. 3 And under the border was the similitude of oxen which encompass it round about. Ten to a cubit encompass the laver all around. 4 It stood upon twelve beeves. In casting the beeves they were made of two kinds. Three faced the north and three faced the west and three faced the south and three faced the east. Upon these the sea stood. And their hinder parts were inwards. 5 And the thickness of the sea was a hand breadth, and its brim like the brim of a cup was engraved with flowers of a lilly. And it contained three thousand measures. 6 And when he had finished it he made ten lavers and set five on the right and five on the left for washing in them the things pertaining to the whole burnt offerings, and for rinsing in them. But the sea was for the priests to wash in. 7 He made also the ten candlesticks of gold according to the pattern thereof and put them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left. 8 And he made ten tables and set them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left. And he made a hundred golden cups. 9 He made also the court of the priests, and the great court, and the gates for the court. And their doors were overlaid with brass. 10 And he placed the sea at the corner of the house on the right so as to be over against the east. 11 Then Chiram made the flesh forks, and the censers, and the grate of the altar, and all the utensils thereof. And when Chiram had finished all the work which he made for king Solomon for the house of God; 12 the two pillars and the ornaments on the chapiters of the pillars, and the two pieces of net work to cover the ornaments which were on the chapiters of the pillars, 13 and four hundred little bells for the two pieces of net work, and the two kinds of pomegranates for each piece of net work which was to cover the ornaments upon the pillars, 14 and had made the ten mechonoths, and the lavers for the mechonoths, 15 and the sea with the twelve beeves under it, 16 and the cauldrons with their pot hooks, and the kettles, and the flesh forks, and all the untensils belonging to them; when Chiram had made them he brought them to king Solomon to the house of the Lord. 17 They were all of pure brass. The king had them cast on the border of the Jordan, in the clay ground at the house of Sokchoth, and between that and Saredetha. 18 And Solomon caused all the utensils to be made in great abundance, for there was no deficiency in the quantity of brass. 19 But all the utensils for the house of the Lord, namely the golden altar and the tables upon which the presence loaves were to be laid, 20 and the candlesticks and the lamps to give light according to the rule prescribed, namely those in front of the dabir, all these Solomon made of pure gold, 21 with the snuffers and. lamp dishes. The cups also and the censers and the fire pans were all of pure gold. 22 And with regard to the inner doors of the house into the Holy of Holies; these doors of the house of the temple he covered with gold.
