Chapter 4
1
He made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten high.
2
He made the Sea of cast metal, ten cubits from rim to rim, circular in shape and five cubits high; a cord thirty cubits long gave the measurement of its girth.
3
Under it and completely encircling it were animals shaped like oxen; they went round the Sea over a length of thirty cubits; the oxen were in two rows, of one and the same casting with the rest.
4
It rested on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, three facing east; on these, their hindquarters all turned inwards, stood the Sea.
5
It was a hand’s breadth in thickness, and its rim was shaped like the rim of a cup, like a flower. It could hold three thousand baths.
6
He made ten basins, arranging five on the right-hand side, five on the left-hand side, for washing the victim for the holocaust which was purified there; but the Sea was for the priests to wash in.
7
He made the ten golden lamp-stands in the way prescribed and placed them in the Hekal, five on the right and five on the left.
8
He made ten tables and placed them in the Hekal, five on the right and five on the left. He made a hundred golden sprinkling bowls.
9
He made the court of the priests[*a] and the great court with its gates and plated the gates with bronze.
10
He placed the Sea some distance from the right-hand side, to the south-east.
11
Huram made the ash containers, the scoops and the sprinkling bowls. He finished all the work that he did for King Solomon on the Temple of God:
12
the two pillars; the two mouldings of the capitals surmounting the pillars; the two sets of filigree to cover the two mouldings of the capitals surmounting the pillars;
13
the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of filigree; the pomegranates of each set of filigree were in two rows;
14
the ten stands and the ten basins on the stands;
15
the one Sea and the twelve oxen beneath it;
16
the ash containers, the scoops, the forks, and all their accessories made by Huram-abi of burnished bronze for King Solomon, for the Temple of Yahweh.
17
The king made them by the process of sand casting, in the Jordan area between Succoth and Zeredah.
18
Solomon made all these articles in great quantities, no reckoning being made of the weight of bronze.
19
Solomon placed all the furnishings he had made in the Temple of God: the golden altar and the tables for the loaves of offering;
20
the lamp-stands with their lamps to burn, as prescribed, in front of the Debir, of pure gold;
21
the floral work, the lamps, the extinguishers, of gold (and it was pure gold);
22
the knives, the sprinkling bowls, incense boats, of fine gold; the door of the Temple, the inner doors (for the Holy of Holies) and the Temple doors (for the Hekal), of gold.
