2 Chronicles 4
1AND he made an altar of brass, the length of it was twenty cubits and the breadth twenty cubits and the height ten cubits.
2And he made the molten sea, ten cubits the diameter, with a border round about, and five cubits the height and thirty cubits the circumference.
3And under the border was the similitude of oxen which encompass it round about. Ten to a cubit encompass the laver all around.
4It stood upon twelve bulls. In casting the bulls they were made of two kinds. Three faced the north and three faced the west and three faced the south and three faced the east. Upon these the sea stood. And their hinder parts were inwards.
5And the thickness of the sea was a hand breadth, and its brim like the brim of a cup was engraved with flowers of a lily. And it contained three thousand measures.
6And when he had finished it he made ten lavers and set five on the right and five on the left for washing in them the things pertaining to the whole burnt offerings, and for rinsing in them. But the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7He made also the ten candlesticks of gold according to the pattern thereof and put them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left.
8And he made ten tables and set them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left. And he made a hundred golden cups.
9He made also the court of the priests, and the great court, and the gates for the court. And their doors were overlaid with brass.
10And he placed the sea at the corner of the house on the right so as to be over against the east.
11Then Chiram made the flesh forks, and the censers, and the grate of the altar, and all the utensils thereof.
12And when Chiram had finished all the work which he made for king Solomon for the house of God— the two pillars and the ornaments on the chapiters of the pillars, and the two pieces of net-work to cover the ornaments which were on the chapiters of the pillars,
13and four hundred little bells for the two pieces of grill-work, and the two kinds of pomegranates for each piece of grill-work which was to cover the ornaments upon the pillars,
14and had made the ten cisterns, and the lavers for the cisterns,
15and the sea with the twelve bulls under it,
16and the cauldrons with their pot hooks, and the kettles, and the flesh forks, and all the utensils belonging to them—when Chiram had made them he brought them to king Solomon to the house of the Lord. They were all of pure brass.
17The king had them cast on the border of the Jordan, in the clay ground at the house of Socchoth, and between that and Saredetha.
18And Solomon caused all the utensils to be made in great abundance, for there was no deficiency in the quantity of brass.
19But all the utensils for the house of the Lord, namely the golden altar and the tables upon which the presence loaves were to be laid,
20and the candlesticks and the lamps to give light according to the rule prescribed, namely those in front of the dabir [the place of the Holy of Holies], all these Solomon made of pure gold,
21with the snuffers and lamp dishes. The cups also and the censers and the fire pans were all of pure gold.
22And with regard to the inner doors of the house into the Holy of Holies—these doors of the house of the temple he covered with gold.
