1 More­over he made an al­tar of brass, twen­ty cu­bits the length there­of, and twen­ty cu­bits the breadth there­of, and ten cu­bits the height there­of. 2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cu­bits from brim to brim, round in com­pass, and five cu­bits the height there­of; and a line of thir­ty cu­bits did com­pass it round about. 3 And un­der it was the simil­i­tude of ox­en, which did com­pass it round about: ten in a cu­bit, com­pass­ing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast. 4 It stood upon 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 above upon them, and all their hin­der parts were in­ward. 5 And the thick­ness of it was an hand­breadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flow­ers of lilies; and it re­ceived and held three thou­sand baths. 6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they of­fered for the burnt of­fer­ing they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. 7 And he made ten can­dle­sticks of gold ac­cord­ing to their form, and 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. And he made an hun­dred ba­sons 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 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south. 11 And Hu­ram made the pots, and the shov­els, and the ba­sons. And Hu­ram fin­ished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God; 12 ­To wit, the two pil­lars, and the pom­mels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pil­lars, and the two wreaths to cov­er the two pom­mels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pil­lars; 13 And four hun­dred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cov­er the two pom­mels of the chapiters which were upon the pil­lars. 14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases; 15 One sea, and twelve oxen un­der it. 16 The pots al­so, and the shov­els, and the flesh­hooks, and all their in­stru­ments, did Hu­ram his fa­ther make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass. 17 In the plain of Jor­dan did the king cast them, in the clay ground be­tween Suc­coth and Zere­dathah. 18 Thus Solomon made all these ves­sels in great abun­dance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out. 19 And Solomon made all the ves­sels that were for the house of God, the gold­en al­tar al­so, and the ta­bles where­on the shew­bread was set; 20 More­over the can­dle­sticks with their lamps, that they should burn af­ter the man­ner be­fore the or­a­cle, of pure gold; 21 And the flow­ers, and the lamps, and the tongs, ­made he of gold, and that per­fect gold; 22 And the snuffers, and the ba­sons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the en­try of the house, the in­ner doors there­of for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the tem­ple, were of gold.
