2 Chronicles 4

CHAPTER 4 The Items for the Temple

1 And he made an altar of brass -- twenty cubits was the length, and twenty cubits the breadth, and ten cubits the height. 2 And he made the [²sea ¹cast] -- ten cubits the diameter, from its lip to its lip, globular round about, and five cubits was the height. And the circumference -- thirty cubits encircled it round about. 3 And a representation of calves was underneath it, round about encircling it; ten in a cubit encircling the sea round about; with two rows of [²oxen ¹cast] in their being cast in a furnace, 4 in which they made them. And standing upon twelve calves was the sea. The three were looking north, and three were looking west, and three were looking south, and three were looking towards the east. And the sea was upon them upward. And [³were ²posteriors ¹their] towards the inside. 5 And its thickness was a palm, and its lip was as a lip of a cup, having been carved of buds of a lily, having a capacity [²measures ¹of three thousand]. And he completed it. 6 And he made [²bathing tubs ¹ten], and put five on the right, and five on the left, to wash in them the works of the whole burnt-offerings, and to rinse off in them. But the sea was for the washing of the priests in it. 7 And he made the lamp-stands of gold -- ten, according to their distinguishing manner. And he put in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. 8 And he made [²tables ¹ten], and he put them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. And he made [²bowls ³of gold ¹a hundred]. 9 And he made the courtyard of the priests, and the [²courtyard ¹great], and doors for the courtyard; and their doorways were being brazed in brass. 10 And the sea he put at the corner of the house at the right towards the east of the part towards the south. 11 And Hiram made the kettles, and the meat hooks, and the censers. And Hiram completed doing all the work which he did for Solomon the king in the house of God -- 12 making [²columns ¹two], and the pommels, and the capitals upon the tops of the [²columns ¹two], and [²latticed works ¹two] to cover up the two pommels of the capitals, which are upon the tops of the columns; 13 and pomegranates of gold -- four hundred for the two latticed works; two kinds of pomegranates on the [²latticed work ¹one], to cover the two bases of the capitals, which are upon the columns. 14 And [²the ³bases ¹he made] -- ten; and the bathing tubs he made upon the bases, 15 and the [²sea ¹one], and the [²calves ¹twelve] underneath it, 16 and the kettles, and the meat hooks and bowls. And all their items which Hiram made, he brought to king Solomon in the house of the lord -- [²brass ¹all of pure]. 17 In the place round about the Jordan [³cast them ¹the ²king] in the thick earth, between Succoth and between Zeredathah. 18 And Solomon made all these items in multitude, exceedingly; for [⁴was not ⁵wanting ¹the scale-weight ²of the ³brass]. 19 And Solomon made all the items of the house of the lord, and the altar of gold, and the tables, and upon them bread loaves of the place setting. 20 And the lamp-stands, and the lamps for the light according to the distinguishing manner in front of the dabir, [²gold ¹of pure]. 21 And their lamps, and their tongs, and the bowls, and the incense pans, and the censers [²gold ¹were of pure]. 22 And the [²door ³of the ⁴house ¹inner], which is in the holies of the holies, and the doors of the house of the temple, were in gold.
