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.

1 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof. 2 Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass; and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about. 3 And under it was the likeness of oxen, which did compass it round about, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about. The oxen were in two rows, 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 set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward. 5 And it was a handbreadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held three thousand baths. 6 He made also ten lavers, 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.

7 And he made the ten candlesticks 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. 8 He made also 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. 9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass. 10 And he set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south. 11 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: 12 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, 13 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 upon the pillars. 14 He made also the bases, and the lavers made he upon the bases; 15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it. 16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels thereof, did Huram his father make for 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 Zeredah. 18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.

19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon was the showbread; 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, and that perfect gold; 22 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 thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house, to wit, of the temple, were of gold.
