2 Crônicas 4 - Bíblia Online

Mandou também fazer um altar de cobre, quadrado, de dez metros de lado e de cinco metros de altura. 
Depois mandou forjar um enorme tanque redondo, com um diâmetro de cinco metros. 
A borda dessa grande bacia estava a dois metros e meio acima do chão; a sua circunferência media quinze metros. Estava apoiada nas costas de duas fileiras de bois em metal. Todo o conjunto, tanto dos bois como do tanque foram feitos de uma só peça. Eram doze os bois de metal; tinham as suas partes traseiras viradas para o interior; e havia três voltados para cada um dos quatros lados: o norte, o sul, o este e o oeste. 
As paredes desse tanque tinham a espessura de treze centímetros, tomando a forma de flor-de-lis. A sua capacidade era de 3.000 barris de água. 
Mandou ainda construir dez vasilhas para água, com o fim de se lavaram nelas as ofertas; estavam dispostas cinco de cada lado da imensa bacia, à direita e à esquerda. Os sacerdotes usavam a bacia, e não as vasilhas, para se lavarem. 
Seguindo cuidadosamente as instruções do Senhor, fez moldar dez lampadários de ouro e colocou-os no templo, cinco junto da parede da esquerda e os outros cinco do lado oposto. 
Fez também dez mesas, colocando cinco junto da parede da esquerda e cinco do lado oposto. Moldou ainda cem bacias em ouro. 
Construiu um pátio para os sacerdotes e outro para o público. Forrou as portas de acesso com bronze. 
O grande tanque estava no canto sudeste da sala exterior do templo. Hurão fez também as caldeiras, pás e bacias necessárias aos diversos actos dos sacrifícios erminou por fim Hurão Abiú todo o trabalho que o rei Salomão lhe tinha encomendado, designadamente: 
Este hábil artífice, Hurão Abiú, fez todos esses trabalhos acima mencionados, para o rei Salomão, usando cobre polido. A fundição desse metal foi feita em fornos de barro na campina do Jordão, entre Sucote e Zareda. Foram usadas imensas quantidades de bronze, cujo peso foi considerado dispensável de registar, tanto ele era. 
No entanto, no templo foi usado unicamente ouro. Salomão tinha recomendado, com efeito, que todos os utensílios, o altar, e a mesa dos pães da presença fossem feitos em ouro; também as lâmpadas e os candeeiros, as decorações florais, as pinças, os espevitadores, as bacias, as colheres e os turíbulos - tudo foi feito em ouro puro. Também os umbrais da entrada do templo, a porta principal e as portas interiores do lugar santíssimo eram de ouro. 

Moreover he made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height. 
Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in a circle; and its height was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits encircled it round about. 
And under it was the likeness of oxen, which circled it round about, for ten cubits, circling the sea round about. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast. 
It stood on 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 on them above, and all their hinder parts were inward. 
And it was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held three thousand baths. 
He also made ten basins, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt-offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in. 
And he made the ten lampstands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 
He also made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins 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 bronze. 
And he set the sea on the right side [of the house] eastward, toward the south. 
And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Huram made an end of doing the work that he wrought for King Solomon in the house of God: 
the two pillars, and the bowls, and the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars, 
and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars. 
He also made the bases, and the basins he made on the bases; 
one sea, and the twelve oxen under it. 
The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels of them, Huram his father made for King Solomon for the house of Yahweh of bright bronze. 
In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. 
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the bronze could not be found out. 
And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which was the showbread; 
and the lampstands with their lamps, to burn according to the ordinance before the oracle, of pure gold; 
and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold; 
and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold: and as for the entry of the house, the inner doors of it for the most holy place, and the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple, were of gold.
