Moreover
he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the
length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth
thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
02 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from
brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits
the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits
did compass it round about.
03 And under it was the similitude of oxen, 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.
04 It stood upon twelve oxen, three 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.
05 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 lilies; and it received and
held three thousand baths.
06 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the
right hand, and five on the left, to wash in
them: such things as they offered for the burnt
offering they washed in them; but the sea was for
the priests to wash in.
07 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according
to their form, and set them in the temple, five
on the right hand, and five on the left.
08 He made also ten tables, and placed them in
the temple, five on the right side, and five on
the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold.
09 Furthermore he made the court of the priests,
and the great court, and doors for the court, and
overlaid the doors of them with brass.
10 And he set the sea on the right side of the
east end, over against the south.

11 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and
the basons. And Huram finished the work that he
was to make for king Solomon for the house of
God;
12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, 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;
13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two
wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath,
to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which
were upon the pillars.
14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon
the bases;
15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the
fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram
his father make to king Solomon for the house of
the Lord of bright brass.
17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them,
in the clay ground between Succoth and
Zeredathah.
18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great
abundance: for the weight of the brass could not
be found out.
19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for
the house of God, the golden altar also, and the
tables whereon the shewbread was set;
20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps,
that they should burn after the manner before the
oracle, of pure gold;
21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs,
made he of gold, and that perfect gold;
22 And the snuffers, and the basons, 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.
