2 Chronicles 4:1-22
4 Then he made the copper altar,+ twenty cubits being its length, and twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.+
2 And he proceeded to make the molten sea+ ten cubits from its one brim to its other brim, circular all around, and its height was five cubits, and it took a line of thirty cubits to circle all around it.+
3 And there was the likeness of gourd-shaped+ ornaments* under it clear around, surrounding it, ten in a cubit, enclosing the sea all around.+ The gourd-shaped ornaments were in two rows, being cast in its casting.
4 It was standing upon twelve bulls,+ three facing the north and three facing the west and three facing the south and three facing the east; and the sea was above upon them, and all their hind parts were inward.+
5 And its thickness was a handbreadth;* and its brim was like the workmanship of the brim of a cup, a lily blossom.+ As a receptacle, three thousand bath+ measures* were what it could contain.+
6 Further, he made ten basins, and put five to the right and five to the left,+ to wash in them.+ Things having to do with the burnt offering+ they would rinse in them. But the sea was for the priests to wash in it.+
7 He then made lampstands+ of gold, ten of them of the same plan,+ and put them in the temple, five to the right and five to the left.+
8 Further, he made ten tables, and stationed them in the temple, five to the right and five to the left,+ and made a hundred bowls of gold.
9 Then he made the courtyard+ of the priests+ and the great enclosure+ and the doors belonging to the enclosure, and their doors he overlaid with copper.
10 And the sea he placed at the right side, to the east, toward the south.+
11 Finally Hiʹram* made the cans+ and the shovels+ and the bowls.+
So Hiʹram finished doing the work that he did for King Solʹo·mon on the house of the [true] God.
12 The two pillars+ and the round capitals+ upon the top of the two pillars and the two networks+ to cover the two round capitals that were upon the top of the pillars
13 and the four hundred pomegranates+ for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two round capitals that were upon the pillars,*+
14 and the ten carriages+ and the ten basins+ upon the carriages;
15 the one sea+ and the twelve bulls under it,+
16 and the cans and the shovels+ and the forks+ and all their utensils+ Hiʹram-aʹbiv*+ made for King Solʹo·mon for the house of Jehovah, of polished copper.
17 In the District of the Jordan the king cast them in the thick ground* between Sucʹcoth+ and Zerʹe·dah.+
18 Thus Solʹo·mon made all these utensils in very great quantity, for the weight of the copper was not ascertained.+
19 And Solʹo·mon proceeded to make all the utensils+ that were at the house of the [true] God and the golden altar+ and the tables+ with the showbread* upon them,
20 and the lampstands+ and their lamps+ of pure gold, to light them up before the innermost room+ according to the rule;
21 and the blossoms and the lamps and the snuffers,+ of gold, (it was the purest gold,)
22 and the extinguishers and the bowls and the cups and the fire holders, of pure gold,+ and the entrance of the house,+ its inner doors for the Most Holy and the doors+ of the house of the temple, of gold.
