of the Temple |
|
|
 |
| 2 Chronicles 4:1 |
|
Then he made a bronze altar, twenty cubits
in length and twenty cubits in width and ten cubits in height. |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:2 |
|
Also he made the cast metal sea, ten cubits
from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits and its circumference
thirty cubits. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:3 |
|
Now figures like oxen were under it and all
around it, ten cubits, entirely encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows,
cast in one piece. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:4 |
|
It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north,
three facing west, three facing south and three facing east; and the sea was set
on top of them and all their hindquarters turned inwards. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:5 |
|
It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was
made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it could hold 3,000 baths. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:6 |
|
He also made ten basins in which to wash, and
he set five on the right side and five on the left to rinse things for the burnt
offering; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:7 |
|
Then he made the ten golden lampstands in the
way prescribed for them and he set them in the temple, five on the right side
and five on the left. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:8 |
|
He also made ten tables and placed them in the
temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made one hundred golden
bowls. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:9 |
|
Then he made the court of the priests and the
great court and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:10 |
|
He set the sea on the right side of the house
toward the southeast. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:11 |
|
Huram also made the pails, the shovels and the
bowls. So Huram finished doing the work which he performed for King Solomon in
the house of God: |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:12 |
|
the two pillars, the bowls and the two capitals
on top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals
which were on top of the pillars, |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:13 |
|
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two
networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of
the capitals which were on the pillars. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:14 |
|
He also made the stands and he made the basins
on the stands, |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:15 |
|
and the one sea with the twelve oxen under it. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:16 |
|
The pails, the shovels, the forks and all its
utensils, Huram-abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon for the house of
the LORD. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:17 |
|
On the plain of the Jordan the king cast them
in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:18 |
|
Thus Solomon made all these utensils in great
quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be found out. |
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:19 |
|
Solomon also made all the things that were in
the house of God: even the golden altar, the tables with the bread of the Presence
on them, |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:20 |
|
the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold,
to burn in front of the inner sanctuary in the way prescribed; |
| |
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:21 |
|
the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold,
of purest gold; |
|
|
|
|
| 2 Chronicles 4:22 |
|
and the snuffers, the bowls, the spoons and
the firepans of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, its inner doors for
the holy of holies and the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold. |
