1 And he made a brazen altar: its length was twenty cubits, and its breadth twenty cubits, and its height ten cubits.
2 And he made the sea, molten, ten cubits from brim to brim, round all about; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it round about.
3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, encompassing it round about, ten in a cubit enclosing the sea round about, two rows of oxen, cast when it was cast.
4 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 above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
5 And its thickness was a hand-breadth, and its brim like the work of the brim of a cup, with lily-blossoms; in capacity it held three thousand baths.
6 And he made ten lavers, and put five on the right and five on the left, to wash in them: they rinsed in them what they prepared for the burnt-offering; and the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance respecting them, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left.
8 And he made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left. And he made a hundred golden bowls.
9 And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors thereof with bronze.
10 And he set the sea on the right side eastward, over against the south.
11 And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram ended doing the work that he made for king Solomon in the house of God:
12 two pillars, and the globes and the capitals on the top of the pillars, two; and the two networks, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;
13 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two globes of the capitals which were upon the pillars.
14 And he made the bases, and he made the lavers on the bases;
15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.
16 And the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their instruments did Huram Abiv make king Solomon for the house of Jehovah, of bright brass.
17 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay-ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 And Solomon made all these vessels in great number; for the weight of the brass was not ascertained.
19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were {in} the house of God: the golden altar; and the tables whereon was the shewbread;
20 and the candlesticks with their lamps to burn according to the ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold;
21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold (it was perfect gold);
22 and the knives, and the bowls, and the cups, and the censers, of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, the inner folding-doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.
1 Também fez um altar de bronze, de vinte cúbitos de comprido, vinte de largo e dez de alto.
2 Fez mais o mar fundido que tinha dez cúbitos de uma borda à outra, redondo na circunferência, e de cinco cúbitos de alto, cingido ao redor por um cordão de trinta cúbitos.
3 Por baixo da borda havia figuras de bois, que cingiam o mar ao redor, dez em cada cúbito, contornando-o todo. Os bois se achavam em duas fileiras, tendo sido fundidos quando o mar foi fundido.
4 Estava assentado sobre doze bois, três dos quais olhavam para o norte, três para o ocidente, três para o sul e três para o oriente. O mar estava posto sobre os bois, cujas ancas estavam para a banda de dentro.
5 A sua grossura era dum palmo, e a sua borda foi feita como a borda dum copo, como a flor dum lírio; e tinha a capacidade de três mil batos.
6 Fez também dez lavatórios, e pôs cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda, para lavagens. As coisas que pertenciam aos holocaustos eram lavadas neles; os sacerdotes, porém, se lavavam no mar.
7 Fez os dez candeeiros de ouro conforme se tinha ordenado a respeito deles, e pô-los no templo, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda.
8 Fez também dez mesas, e pô-las no templo, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda. Fez cem bacias de ouro.
9 Fez ainda o átrio dos sacerdotes, e o grande átrio, e as suas portas que cobriu de bronze.
10 Pôs o mar ao lado direito da casa da banda oriental na direção do sul.
11 Hirão fez as caldeiras, as pás e as bacias. Assim acabou Hirão de fazer a obra que executava para o rei Salomão na casa de Deus:
12 a saber, as duas colunas, os dois globos e os dois capitéis que estavam em cima das colunas; as duas redes para cobrirem os dois globos dos capitéis que estavam em cima das colunas;
13 e as quatrocentas romãs para as duas redes, duas fileiras de romãs para cada rede, para cobrirem os dois globos dos capitéis que estavam em cima das colunas.
14 Fez também as bases, e os lavatórios sobre as bases;
15 o mar, e os doze bois debaixo do mar.
16 As caldeiras, as pás, os garfos e todos os vasos, Hirão-Abi os fez de bronze luzente para o rei Salomão para a casa de Jeová.
17 Na campina do Jordão fundiu-os o rei na terra argilosa entre Sucote e Zereda.
18 Assim fez Salomão todos estes vasos em grande abundância; pois o peso do bronze não se podia averiguar.
19 Fez Salomão todos os vasos que estavam na casa de Deus, o altar de ouro, e as mesas sobre que estavam os pães da proposição;
20 e de ouro puro os candeeiros com as suas lâmpadas, para arderem segundo a ordenação perante o oráculo;
21 as flores, as lâmpadas e as tenazes, de ouro, sim de ouro puríssimo;
22 as espevitadeiras, as bacias, as colheres e os braseiros, de ouro puro; e quanto à entrada da casa, as portas do santo dos santos no interior, e as portas da casa, isto é, do templo, eram de ouro.
