2Chr 4
1
And he made a brazen altar, the length of it twenty cubits, and the breadth twenty
cubits, and the height ten cubits.
2
And he made the molten sea, in diameter ten cubits, entirely round, and the height
of it five cubits, and the circumference thirty cubits.
3
And beneath it the likeness of calves, they compass it round about: ten cubits compass
the laver round about, they cast the calves Gr. two kinds two rows in their casting,
4
wherein they made them twelve calves, —three looking northwards, and three westwards,
and three southwards, and three eastwards: and the sea was upon them above, and their
hinder parts were inward.
5
And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim as the brim of a cup, graven with
flowers of lilies, holding three thousand measures: and he finished it.
6
And he made ten lavers, and set five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash
in them the instruments of the whole-burnt-offerings, and to rinse the vessels in
them; and the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7
And he made the ten golden candlesticks according to their Gr. judgement; Hebraism pattern, and he put them in the temple,
five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8
And he made ten tables, and put them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five
on the left: and he made a hundred golden bowls.
9
Also he made the priests’ court, and the great court, and doors to the court, and
their panels were overlaid with brass.
10
And he set the sea at the corner of the house on the right, as it were fronting the
east.
11
And Chiram made the fleshhooks, and the fire-pans, and the grate of the altar, and
all its instruments: and Chiram finished doing all the work which he wrought for king
Solomon in the house of God:
12
two pillars, and upon them an embossed work for the chapiters on the heads of the
two pillars, and two nets to cover the heads of the chapiters which are on the heads
of the pillars;
13
and four hundred golden bells for the two nets, and two rows of pomegranates in each
net, to cover the two embossed rims of the chapiters which are upon the pillars.
14
And he made the ten bases, and he made the lavers upon the bases;
15
and the one sea, and the twelve calves under it;
16
and the foot-baths, and the Or, perhaps, tongs buckets, and the caldrons, and the flesh-hooks, and all their furniture (which
Chiram
made, and brought to king Solomon in the house of the Lord) of pure brass.
17
In the country round about Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground in the house
of Socchoth, and between that and Saredatha.
18
So Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, for the quantity of brass failed
not.
19
And Solomon made all the vessels of the house of the Lord, and the golden altar, and
the tables, and upon them were to be the loaves of shewbread;
20
also the candlesticks, and the lamps to give light according to the Gr. judgement; Hebraism pattern, and in front of the oracle,
of pure gold.
21
And their snuffers, and their lamps were made, and he made the bowls, and the censers,
and the fire-pans, of pure gold.
22
And there was the inner door of the house opening into the holy of holies, and he
made the inner doors of the temple of gold. So all the work which Solomon wrought
for the house of the Lord was finished.
