2 Chronicles 4
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.
