¶ Moreover he made an altar¹ of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.

Also he made a molten sea² of ten cubits from brim to brim³, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

And under⁴ it was the similitude of oxen⁵, 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.

It stood⁶ upon twelve oxen, three⁷ 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.

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 lilies⁸; and it received and held three thousand baths.

He made also ten lavers⁹, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering¹⁰ they washed in them; but the sea¹¹ was for the priests to wash in.

And he made ten candlesticks¹² of gold according to¹³ their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

He made also ten tables¹⁴, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons¹⁵ of gold.

Furthermore he made the court¹⁶ of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.

¶¹⁷And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.

¶ And Huram made the pots¹⁸, and the shovels, and the basons¹⁹. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;

To wit,²⁰ the two pillars, and the pommels²¹, 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;

And four hundred²² pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars²³.

He made also bases²⁴, and lavers²⁵ made he upon the bases;

²⁶One sea, and twelve oxen under it.

The pots also,²⁷ and the shovels, and the fleshhooks²⁸, and all their instruments, did Huram²⁹ his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright³¹ brass.

In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground³² between Succoth and Zeredathah.

Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight³⁴ of the brass could not be found out.

And Solomon made all the vessels³⁵ that were for the house of God, the golden³⁶ altar also, and the tables³⁷ whereon the shewbread was set;

¶ Moreover the candlesticks³⁸ with their lamps, that they should burn after³⁹ the manner before the oracle⁴⁰, of pure gold;

And the flowers⁴¹, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold⁴²;

And the snuffers⁴³, and the basons⁴⁴, 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.
