1 Reis 7 - Bíblia Online

But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 
He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. 3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row. 4 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks. 5 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks. 
And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them. 
Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other. 
And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch. 9 All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court. 10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. 11 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars. 12 And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house. 
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre. 14 He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work. 15 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about. 16 And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits: 17 And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter. 18 And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter. 19 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits. 20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter. 21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz. 22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished. 
And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 24 And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast. 25 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. 26 And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths. 
And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. 28 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges: 29 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work. 30 And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition. 31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round. 32 And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. 33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten. 34 And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself. 35 And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same. 36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about. 37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size. 
Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver. 39 And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south. 
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD: 41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; 42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars; 43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 45 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass. 46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out. 
And Solomon made all the vessels that pertained unto the house of the LORD: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, whereupon the shewbread was, 49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, with the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold, 50 And the bowls, and the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers of pure gold; and the hinges of gold, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple. 51 So was ended all the work that king Solomon made for the house of the LORD. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated; even the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the treasures of the house of the LORD.

Salomão edificou também a sua casa, levando treze anos para acabá-la. 
Edificou ainda a casa do bosque de Líbano, de cem côvados de comprimento, cinqüenta de largura e trinta de altura, sobre quatro ordens de colunas de cedros, e vigas de cedro sobre as colunas. 
E por cima estava coberta de cedro sobre as câmaras, que estavam sobre quarenta e cinco colunas, quinze em cada ordem. 
E havia três ordens de janelas, e uma janela estava defronte da outra janela, em três fileiras. 
Todas as portas e esquadrias eram quadradas; e uma janela estava defronte da outra, em três fileiras. 
Depois fez um pórtico de colunas, de cinqüenta côvados de comprimento e trinta de largura; e defronte dele outro pórtico, com suas respectivas colunas e degraus. 
Também fez o pórtico para o trono onde julgava, isto é, o pórtico do juízo, o qual era coberto de cedro desde o soalho até o teto. 
E em sua casa, em que morava, havia outro átrio por dentro do pórtico, de obra semelhante à deste; também para a filha de Faraó, que ele tomara por mulher, fez uma casa semelhante àquele pórtico. 
Todas estas casas eram de pedras de grande preço, cortadas sob medida, tendo as suas faces por dentro e por fora serradas à serra; e isto desde o fundamento até as beiras do teto, e por fora até o grande átrio. 
Os fundamentos eram de pedras de grande preço, pedras grandes, de dez e de oito côvados, 
e por cima delas havia pedras de grande preço, lavradas sob medida, e madeira de cedro. 
O átrio grande tinha em redor três ordens de pedras lavradas, com uma ordem de vigas de cedro; assim era também o átrio interior da casa do Senhor e o pórtico da casa. 
O rei Salomão mandou trazer de Tiro a Hirão. 
Era ele filho de uma viúva, da tribo de Naftali, e fora seu pai um homem de Tiro, que trabalhava em bronze; ele era cheio de sabedoria, de entendimento e de ciência para fazer toda sorte de obras de bronze. Este veio ter com o rei Salomão, e executou todas as suas obras. 
Formou as duas colunas de bronze; a altura de cada coluna era de dezoito côvados; e um fio de doze côvados era a medida da circunferência de cada uma das colunas; 
também fez dois capitéis de bronze fundido para pôr sobre o alto das colunas; de cinco côvados era a altura dum capitel, e de cinco côvados também a altura do outro. 
Havia redes de malha, e grinaldas entrelaçadas, para os capitéis que estavam sobre o alto das colunas: sete para um capitel e sete para o outro. 
Assim fez as colunas; e havia duas fileiras de romãs em redor sobre uma rede, para cobrir os capitéis que estavam sobre o alto das colunas; assim fez com um e outro capitel. 
Os capitéis que estavam sobre o alto das colunas, no pórtico, figuravam lírios, e eram de quatro côvados. 
Os capitéis, pois, sobre as duas colunas estavam também justamente em cima do bojo que estava junto à rede; e havia duzentas romãs, em fileiras em redor, sobre um e outro capitel. 
Depois levantou as colunas no pórtico do templo; levantando a coluna direita, pôs-lhe o nome de Jaquim; e levantando a coluna esquerda, pôs-lhe o nome de Boaz. 
Sobre o alto das colunas estava a obra de lírios. E assim se acabou a obra das colunas. 
Fez também o mar de fundição; era redondo e media dez côvados duma borda à outra, cinco côvados de altura e trinta de circunferência. 
Por baixo da sua borda em redor havia betões que o cingiam, dez em cada côvado, cercando aquele mar em redor; duas eram as fileiras destes botões, fundidas juntamente com o mar. 
E firmava-se sobre doze bois, três dos quais olhavam para o norte, três para o ocidente, três para o sul e três para o oriente; e o mar descansava sobre eles, e as partes posteriores deles estavam para a banda de dentro. 
A sua grossura era de três polegadas, e a borda era como a de um copo, como flor de lírio; ele levava dois mil batos. 
Fez também as dez bases de bronze; cada uma tinha quatro côvados de comprimento, quatro de largura e três de altura. 
E a estrutura das bases era esta: tinham elas almofadas, as quais estavam entre as junturas; 
e sobre as almofadas que estavam entre as junturas havia leões, bois, e querubins, bem como os havia sobre as junturas em cima; e debaixo dos leões e dos bois havia grinaldas pendentes. 
Cada base tinha quatro rodas de bronze, e eixos de bronze; e os seus quatro cantos tinham suportes; debaixo da pia estavam estes suportes de fundição, tendo eles grinaldas de cada lado. 
A sua boca, dentro da coroa, e em cima, era de um côvado; e era redonda segundo a obra dum pedestal, de côvado e meio; e também sobre a sua boca havia entalhes, e as suas almofadas eram quadradas, não redondas. 
As quatro rodas estavam debaixo das almofadas, e os seus eixos estavam na base; e era a altura de cada roda de côvado e meio. 
O feitio das rodas era como o de uma roda de carro; seus eixos, suas cambas, seus raios e seus cubos, todos eram fundidos. 
Havia quatro suportes aos quatro cantos de cada base, os quais faziam parte da própria base. 
No alto de cada base havia um cinto redondo, de meio côvado de altura; também sobre o topo de cada base havia esteios e almofadas que faziam parte dela. 
E nas placas dos seus esteios e nas suas almofadas lavrou querubins, leões e palmas, segundo o espaço que havia em cada uma, com grinaldas em redor. 
Deste modo fez as dez bases: todas com a mesma fundição, a mesma medida e o mesmo entalhe. 
Também fez dez pias de bronze; em cada uma cabiam quarenta batos, e cada pia era de quatro côvados; e cada uma delas estava sobre uma das dez bases. 
E pôs cinco bases à direita da casa, e cinco à esquerda; porém o mar pôs ao lado direito da casa para a banda do oriente, na direção do sul. 
Hirão fez também as caldeiras, as pás e as bacias; assim acabou de fazer toda a obra que executou para o rei Salomão, para a casa do Senhor, 
a saber: as duas colunas, os globos dos capitéis que estavam sobre o alto das colunas, e as duas redes para cobrir os dois globos dos capitéis que estavam sobre o alto das colunas, 
e as quatrocentas romãs para as duas redes, a saber, duas carreiras de romãs para cada rede, para cobrirem os dois globos dos capitéis que estavam em cima das colunas; 
as dez bases, e as dez pias sobre as bases; 
o mar, e os doze bois debaixo do mesmo; 
as caldeiras, as pás e as bacias; todos estes objetos que Hirão fez para o rei Salomão, para a casa do Senhor, eram de bronze polido. 
O rei os fez fundir na planície do Jordão, num terreno argiloso que havia entre Sucote e Zaretã. 
E Salomão deixou de pesar esses objetos devido ao seu excessivo número; não se averiguou o peso do bronze. 
Também fez Salomão todos os utensílios para a casa do Senhor: o altar de ouro, e a mesa de ouro, sobre a qual estavam os pães da proposição; 
os castiçais, cinco à direita e cinco esquerda, diante do oráculo, de ouro puro; as flores, as lâmpadas e as tenazes, também de ouro; 
e as taças, as espevitadeiras, as bacias, as colheres e os braseiros, de ouro puro; e os gonzos para as portas da casa interior, para o lugar santíssimo, e os das portas da casa, isto é, do templo, também de ouro. 
Assim se acabou toda a obra que o rei Salomão fez para a casa do Senhor. Então trouxe Salomão as coisas que seu pai Davi tinha consagrado, a saber, a prata, o ouro e os vasos; e os depositou nos tesouros da casa do senhor. 

1 Reis 8

But Solomon was building his own house thirteen years, and he finished all his house. 
He built also the house of the forest of Lebanon; the length thereof was an hundred cubits, and the breadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height thereof thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with cedar beams upon the pillars. 3 And it was covered with cedar above upon the beams, that lay on forty five pillars, fifteen in a row. 4 And there were windows in three rows, and light was against light in three ranks. 5 And all the doors and posts were square, with the windows: and light was against light in three ranks. 
And he made a porch of pillars; the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty cubits: and the porch was before them: and the other pillars and the thick beam were before them. 
Then he made a porch for the throne where he might judge, even the porch of judgment: and it was covered with cedar from one side of the floor to the other. 
And his house where he dwelt had another court within the porch, which was of the like work. Solomon made also an house for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken to wife, like unto this porch. 9 All these were of costly stones, according to the measures of hewed stones, sawed with saws, within and without, even from the foundation unto the coping, and so on the outside toward the great court. 10 And the foundation was of costly stones, even great stones, stones of ten cubits, and stones of eight cubits. 11 And above were costly stones, after the measures of hewed stones, and cedars. 12 And the great court round about was with three rows of hewed stones, and a row of cedar beams, both for the inner court of the house of the LORD, and for the porch of the house. 
And king Solomon sent and fetched Hiram out of Tyre. 14 He was a widow’s son of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass: and he was filled with wisdom, and understanding, and cunning to work all works in brass. And he came to king Solomon, and wrought all his work. 15 For he cast two pillars of brass, of eighteen cubits high apiece: and a line of twelve cubits did compass either of them about. 16 And he made two chapiters of molten brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars: the height of the one chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other chapiter was five cubits: 17 And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; seven for the one chapiter, and seven for the other chapiter. 18 And he made the pillars, and two rows round about upon the one network, to cover the chapiters that were upon the top, with pomegranates: and so did he for the other chapiter. 19 And the chapiters that were upon the top of the pillars were of lily work in the porch, four cubits. 20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pomegranates also above, over against the belly which was by the network: and the pomegranates were two hundred in rows round about upon the other chapiter. 21 And he set up the pillars in the porch of the temple: and he set up the right pillar, and called the name thereof Jachin: and he set up the left pillar, and called the name thereof Boaz. 22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work: so was the work of the pillars finished. 
And he made a molten sea, ten cubits from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, and his height was five cubits: and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about. 24 And under the brim of it round about there were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about: the knops were cast in two rows, when it was cast. 25 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. 26 And it was an hand breadth thick, and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two thousand baths. 
And he made ten bases of brass; four cubits was the length of one base, and four cubits the breadth thereof, and three cubits the height of it. 28 And the work of the bases was on this manner: they had borders, and the borders were between the ledges: 29 And on the borders that were between the ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims: and upon the ledges there was a base above: and beneath the lions and oxen were certain additions made of thin work. 30 And every base had four brasen wheels, and plates of brass: and the four corners thereof had undersetters: under the laver were undersetters molten, at the side of every addition. 31 And the mouth of it within the chapiter and above was a cubit: but the mouth thereof was round after the work of the base, a cubit and an half: and also upon the mouth of it were gravings with their borders, foursquare, not round. 32 And under the borders were four wheels; and the axletrees of the wheels were joined to the base: and the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. 33 And the work of the wheels was like the work of a chariot wheel: their axletrees, and their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, were all molten. 34 And there were four undersetters to the four corners of one base: and the undersetters were of the very base itself. 35 And in the top of the base was there a round compass of half a cubit high: and on the top of the base the ledges thereof and the borders thereof were of the same. 36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and palm trees, according to the proportion of every one, and additions round about. 37 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had one casting, one measure, and one size. 
Then made he ten lavers of brass: one laver contained forty baths: and every laver was four cubits: and upon every one of the ten bases one laver. 39 And he put five bases on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward over against the south. 
And Hiram made the lavers, and the shovels, and the basons. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he made king Solomon for the house of the LORD: 41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; and the two networks, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters which were upon the top of the pillars; 42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, even two rows of pomegranates for one network, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that were upon the pillars; 43 And the ten bases, and ten lavers on the bases; 44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea; 45 And the pots, and the shovels, and the basons: and all these vessels, which Hiram made to king Solomon for the house of the LORD, were of bright brass. 46 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarthan. 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many: neither was the weight of the brass found out.

Salomão edificou também a sua casa, levando treze anos para acabá-la. 
Edificou ainda a casa do bosque de Líbano, de cem côvados de comprimento, cinqüenta de largura e trinta de altura, sobre quatro ordens de colunas de cedros, e vigas de cedro sobre as colunas. 
E por cima estava coberta de cedro sobre as câmaras, que estavam sobre quarenta e cinco colunas, quinze em cada ordem. 
E havia três ordens de janelas, e uma janela estava defronte da outra janela, em três fileiras. 
Todas as portas e esquadrias eram quadradas; e uma janela estava defronte da outra, em três fileiras. 
Depois fez um pórtico de colunas, de cinqüenta côvados de comprimento e trinta de largura; e defronte dele outro pórtico, com suas respectivas colunas e degraus. 
Também fez o pórtico para o trono onde julgava, isto é, o pórtico do juízo, o qual era coberto de cedro desde o soalho até o teto. 
E em sua casa, em que morava, havia outro átrio por dentro do pórtico, de obra semelhante à deste; também para a filha de Faraó, que ele tomara por mulher, fez uma casa semelhante àquele pórtico. 
Todas estas casas eram de pedras de grande preço, cortadas sob medida, tendo as suas faces por dentro e por fora serradas à serra; e isto desde o fundamento até as beiras do teto, e por fora até o grande átrio. 
Os fundamentos eram de pedras de grande preço, pedras grandes, de dez e de oito côvados, 
e por cima delas havia pedras de grande preço, lavradas sob medida, e madeira de cedro. 
O átrio grande tinha em redor três ordens de pedras lavradas, com uma ordem de vigas de cedro; assim era também o átrio interior da casa do Senhor e o pórtico da casa. 
O rei Salomão mandou trazer de Tiro a Hirão. 
Era ele filho de uma viúva, da tribo de Naftali, e fora seu pai um homem de Tiro, que trabalhava em bronze; ele era cheio de sabedoria, de entendimento e de ciência para fazer toda sorte de obras de bronze. Este veio ter com o rei Salomão, e executou todas as suas obras. 
Formou as duas colunas de bronze; a altura de cada coluna era de dezoito côvados; e um fio de doze côvados era a medida da circunferência de cada uma das colunas; 
também fez dois capitéis de bronze fundido para pôr sobre o alto das colunas; de cinco côvados era a altura dum capitel, e de cinco côvados também a altura do outro. 
Havia redes de malha, e grinaldas entrelaçadas, para os capitéis que estavam sobre o alto das colunas: sete para um capitel e sete para o outro. 
Assim fez as colunas; e havia duas fileiras de romãs em redor sobre uma rede, para cobrir os capitéis que estavam sobre o alto das colunas; assim fez com um e outro capitel. 
Os capitéis que estavam sobre o alto das colunas, no pórtico, figuravam lírios, e eram de quatro côvados. 
Os capitéis, pois, sobre as duas colunas estavam também justamente em cima do bojo que estava junto à rede; e havia duzentas romãs, em fileiras em redor, sobre um e outro capitel. 
Depois levantou as colunas no pórtico do templo; levantando a coluna direita, pôs-lhe o nome de Jaquim; e levantando a coluna esquerda, pôs-lhe o nome de Boaz. 
Sobre o alto das colunas estava a obra de lírios. E assim se acabou a obra das colunas. 
Fez também o mar de fundição; era redondo e media dez côvados duma borda à outra, cinco côvados de altura e trinta de circunferência. 
Por baixo da sua borda em redor havia betões que o cingiam, dez em cada côvado, cercando aquele mar em redor; duas eram as fileiras destes botões, fundidas juntamente com o mar. 
E firmava-se sobre doze bois, três dos quais olhavam para o norte, três para o ocidente, três para o sul e três para o oriente; e o mar descansava sobre eles, e as partes posteriores deles estavam para a banda de dentro. 
A sua grossura era de três polegadas, e a borda era como a de um copo, como flor de lírio; ele levava dois mil batos. 
Fez também as dez bases de bronze; cada uma tinha quatro côvados de comprimento, quatro de largura e três de altura. 
E a estrutura das bases era esta: tinham elas almofadas, as quais estavam entre as junturas; 
e sobre as almofadas que estavam entre as junturas havia leões, bois, e querubins, bem como os havia sobre as junturas em cima; e debaixo dos leões e dos bois havia grinaldas pendentes. 
Cada base tinha quatro rodas de bronze, e eixos de bronze; e os seus quatro cantos tinham suportes; debaixo da pia estavam estes suportes de fundição, tendo eles grinaldas de cada lado. 
A sua boca, dentro da coroa, e em cima, era de um côvado; e era redonda segundo a obra dum pedestal, de côvado e meio; e também sobre a sua boca havia entalhes, e as suas almofadas eram quadradas, não redondas. 
As quatro rodas estavam debaixo das almofadas, e os seus eixos estavam na base; e era a altura de cada roda de côvado e meio. 
O feitio das rodas era como o de uma roda de carro; seus eixos, suas cambas, seus raios e seus cubos, todos eram fundidos. 
Havia quatro suportes aos quatro cantos de cada base, os quais faziam parte da própria base. 
No alto de cada base havia um cinto redondo, de meio côvado de altura; também sobre o topo de cada base havia esteios e almofadas que faziam parte dela. 
E nas placas dos seus esteios e nas suas almofadas lavrou querubins, leões e palmas, segundo o espaço que havia em cada uma, com grinaldas em redor. 
Deste modo fez as dez bases: todas com a mesma fundição, a mesma medida e o mesmo entalhe. 
Também fez dez pias de bronze; em cada uma cabiam quarenta batos, e cada pia era de quatro côvados; e cada uma delas estava sobre uma das dez bases. 
E pôs cinco bases à direita da casa, e cinco à esquerda; porém o mar pôs ao lado direito da casa para a banda do oriente, na direção do sul. 
Hirão fez também as caldeiras, as pás e as bacias; assim acabou de fazer toda a obra que executou para o rei Salomão, para a casa do Senhor, 
a saber: as duas colunas, os globos dos capitéis que estavam sobre o alto das colunas, e as duas redes para cobrir os dois globos dos capitéis que estavam sobre o alto das colunas, 
e as quatrocentas romãs para as duas redes, a saber, duas carreiras de romãs para cada rede, para cobrirem os dois globos dos capitéis que estavam em cima das colunas; 
as dez bases, e as dez pias sobre as bases; 
o mar, e os doze bois debaixo do mesmo; 
as caldeiras, as pás e as bacias; todos estes objetos que Hirão fez para o rei Salomão, para a casa do Senhor, eram de bronze polido. 
O rei os fez fundir na planície do Jordão, num terreno argiloso que havia entre Sucote e Zaretã. 
E Salomão deixou de pesar esses objetos devido ao seu excessivo número; não se averiguou o peso do bronze. 
Também fez Salomão todos os utensílios para a casa do Senhor: o altar de ouro, e a mesa de ouro, sobre a qual estavam os pães da proposição; 
os castiçais, cinco à direita e cinco esquerda, diante do oráculo, de ouro puro; as flores, as lâmpadas e as tenazes, também de ouro; 
e as taças, as espevitadeiras, as bacias, as colheres e os braseiros, de ouro puro; e os gonzos para as portas da casa interior, para o lugar santíssimo, e os das portas da casa, isto é, do templo, também de ouro. 
Assim se acabou toda a obra que o rei Salomão fez para a casa do Senhor. Então trouxe Salomão as coisas que seu pai Davi tinha consagrado, a saber, a prata, o ouro e os vasos; e os depositou nos tesouros da casa do senhor.
