Chapter 4

  Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.  

--

  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.  

--

  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.  

--

  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.  

--

  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.  

--

  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.  

--

  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.  

--

  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.  

--

  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.  

--

  And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.  

--

  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;  

--

  [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;  

--

  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.  

--

  He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;  

--

  One sea, and twelve oxen under it.  

--

  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.  

--

  In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.  

--

  Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.  

--

  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];  

--

  Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;  

--

  And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, [made he of] gold, [and] that perfect gold;  

--

  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.
