[1] Then he made an altar of bronze, twenty cubitsⓘ long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high. [2] Also he made the molten sea§ of ten cubits from brim to brim. It was round, five cubits high, and thirty cubits in circumference. [3] Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast. [4] It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hindquarters were inward. [5] It was a handbreadth thick. Its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It received and held three thousand baths.ⓘ [6] He also made ten basins, and put five on the right hand and five on the left, to wash in them. The things that belonged to the burnt offering were washed in them, but the sea was for the priests to wash in. [7] He made the ten lamp stands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he 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. He made one hundred basins of gold. [9] Furthermore he made the court of the priests, the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze. [10] He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south. [11] Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins.So Huram finished doing the work that he did for King Solomon in God’s house: [12] the two pillars, the bowls, the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars, [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 that were on the pillars. [14] He also made the bases, and he made the basins on the bases— [15] one sea, and the twelve oxen under it. [16] Huram-abiⓘ also made the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels for King Solomon, for Yahweh’s house, of bright bronze. [17] The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. [18] Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, so that the weight of the bronze could not be determined. [19] Solomon made all the vessels that were in God’s house: the golden altar, the tables with the show bread on them, [20] and the lamp stands with their lamps to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; [21] and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold that was purest gold; [22] and the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans of pure gold. As for the entry of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.

H5178 [10] And he set H5414 (QalPerf) the sea H3220 on the right H3233 side H3802 of the east end, H6924 over against H4136 the south. H5045 [11] And Huram H2361 made H6213 (QalImpf) the pots, H5518 and the shovels, H3257 and the basons. H4219§And Huram H2361 (Ketiv) finished H3615 (PielImpf) the work H4399§ that he was to make H6213 (QalPerf) for king H4428 Solomon H8010 for the house H1004 of God; H430 [12] to wit, the two H8147 pillars, H5982 and the pommels, H1543 and the chapiters H3805 which were on the top H7218 of the two pillars, H5982 and the two H8147 wreaths H7639 to cover H3680 (PielInf) the two H8147 pommels H1543 of the chapiters H3805 which were on the top H7218 of the pillars; H5982 [13] and four H702 hundred H3967 pomegranates H7416 on the two H8147 wreaths; H7639 two H8147 rows H2905 of pomegranates H7416 on each H259 wreath, H7639 to cover H3680 (PielInf) the two H8147 pommels H1543 of the chapiters H3805 which were upon§ H6440 the pillars.

H6868 [18] Thus Solomon H8010 made H6213 (QalImpf) all these vessels H3627 in great H3966 abundance: H7230 for the weight H4948 of the brass H5178 could not be found out. H2713 (NiphPerf) [19] And Solomon H8010 made H6213 (QalImpf) all the vessels H3627 that were for the house H1004 of God, H430 the golden H2091 altar H4196 also, and the tables H7979 whereon the shewbread H3899 was set; [20] moreover the candlesticks H4501 with their lamps, H5216 that they should burn H1197 (PielInf) after the manner H4941 before H6440 the oracle, H1687 of pure H5462 (QalPasPtc) gold; H2091 [21] and the flowers, H6525 and the lamps, H5216 and the tongs, H4457 made he of gold, H2091 and that perfect H4357 gold; H2091§ [22] and the snuffers, H4212 and the basons, H4219§ and the spoons, H3709 and the censers, H4289 of pure H5462 (QalPasPtc) gold: H2091 and the entry H6607 of the house, H1004 the inner H6442 doors H1817 thereof for the most H6944 holy H6944 place, and the doors H1817 of the house H1004 of the temple, H1964 were of gold.
