2 Chronicles 4

Revised Geneva Translation

4 And he made a bronze Altar, twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

² And he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, all around, and five cubits high. And a line of thirty cubits went around it.

³ And under it was the fashion of oxen, which encircled it all around, ten per cubit, surrounding the Sea all around. Two rows of oxen were cast after it had melted.

⁴ It stood upon twelve oxen. Three looked northward and three looked westward and three looked southward and three looked eastward. And the Sea stood above, upon them. And all their hind parts were inward.

⁵ And its thickness was a hand breadth. And its brim was like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies. It contained three thousand baths.

⁶ He also made ten caldrons and put five on the right and five on the left, in which to wash and cleanse the things for the Burnt Offerings. But the Sea was for the priests to wash in.

⁷ And he made ten gold candlesticks (according to their form) and put them in the Temple, five on the right and five on the left.

⁸ And he made ten tables and put them in the Temple, five on the right and five on the left. And he made a hundred gold basins.

⁹ And he made the court of the priests, and the great court and doors for the court, and overlaid its doors with bronze.

¹⁰ And he set the Sea on the right side, eastward, toward the south.

¹¹ And Huram made pots and shovels and basins. And Huram finished the work that he would make for King Solomon, for the House of God:

¹² two pillars, and the bowls, and the chapiters on the top of the two pillars, and two grates to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars,

¹³ and four hundred pomegranates for the two grates, two rows of pomegranates for every grate to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars.

¹⁴ He also made bases and made caldrons upon the bases.

¹⁵ And a Sea and twelve bulls were under it,

¹⁶ also pots and brooms and flesh hooks. And Huram (the father) made all these vessels of shining bronze for King Solomon, for the House of the LORD.

¹⁷ The king cast them in clay in the plain of Jordan, between Succoth and Zeredathah.

¹⁸ And Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance; for the weight of bronze could not be measured.

¹⁹ And Solomon made all the vessels for the House of God: the golden Altar and also the Tables on which the showbread stood,

²⁰ the candlesticks with their lamps (to burn after the manner, before the Oracle) of pure gold,

²¹ the flowers and the lamps and the snuffers of gold (which was fine gold),

²² and the hooks and the basins and the spoons and the ash pans of pure gold. Also, the entrance to the House and its doors within, of the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the House (Temple) were made of gold.
