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 hight of it. 2: Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the hight of it; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it. 3: And under it [was] the similitude of oxen, which encompassed it: ten in a cubit, encompassing the sea. Two rows of oxen [were] cast, when it was cast. 4: It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking towards the north, and three looking towards the west, and three looking towards the south, and three looking towards the east: and the sea [was set] above upon them, and all their hinder parts [were] inward. 5: And the thickness of it [was] a hand-breadth, 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 a 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: 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 basins. 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 capitals [which were] on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the capitals 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 capitals which [were] upon the pillars. 14: He made also bases, and lavers he made upon the bases; 15: One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 16: The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, 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 ascertained. 19: And Solomon made all the vessels that [were for] the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the show-bread [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 basins, and the spoons, and the censers, [of] pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy [place], and the doors of the house of the temple, [were of] gold.
