4:1 He made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.
4:2 He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it.
4:3 Below the rim, figures of bulls encircled it–ten to a cubit. The bulls were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.
4:4 The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center.
4:5 It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held three thousand baths.
4:6 He then made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. In them the things to be used for the burnt offerings were rinsed, but the Sea was to be used by the priests for washing.
4:7 He made ten gold lampstands according to the specifications for them and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.
4:8 He made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold sprinkling bowls.
4:9 He made the courtyard of the priests, and the large court and the doors for the court, and overlaid the doors with bronze.
4:10 He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.
4:11 He also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of God:
4:12 the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars; the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
4:13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);
4:14 the stands with their basins;
4:15 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;
4:16 the pots, shovels, meat forks and all related articles. All the objects that Huram-Abi made for King Solomon for the temple of the LORD were of polished bronze.
4:17 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan.
4:18 All these things that Solomon made amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze was not determined.
4:19 Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in God’s temple: the golden altar; the tables on which was the bread of the Presence;
4:20 the lampstands of pure gold with their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;
4:21 the gold floral work and lamps and tongs (they were solid gold);
4:22 the pure gold wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and censers; and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place and the doors of the main hall.
4:1 And he made an altar of bronze; its length was twenty cubits, and its width was twenty cubits, and its height was ten cubits.
4:2 And he made the molten sea, ten cubits from brim to brim, fully round; and it was five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits encompassed it.
4:3 And under it there were figures of oxen all around, encircling it, for ten cubits, surrounding the sea all around; the oxen were cast in two rows when they were cast.
4:4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north and three facing west and three facing south and three facing east; and the sea was upon them, and all their hindquarters were within.
4:5 And it was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was like the work of a cup’s brim, like the flower of a lily; it could hold three thousand baths.
4:6 And he made ten basins in which to wash, to rinse the things for the burnt offering, and he set five on the right and five on the left; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
4:7 Then he made the ten golden lampstands according to the ordinance for them, and he put them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left.
4:8 And he made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left; and he made one hundred golden bowls.
4:9 And he made the court of the priests and the great court and the doors of the court, and he overlaid their doors with bronze.
4:10 And he put the sea on the right side of the house, on the east side southward.
4:11 And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. Thus Huram finished doing the work that he was doing for King Solomon in the house of God:
4:12 The two pillars and the bowls and the two capitals that were at the top of the pillars and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were at the top of the pillars;
4:13 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 on the pillars.
4:14 He also made the bases, and he made the basins upon the bases;
4:15 And the one sea and the twelve oxen under it.
4:16 And the pots and the shovels and the forks and all their vessels that Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of Jehovah were of burnished bronze.
4:17 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.
4:18 And Solomon made all these vessels in great number, for the weight of bronze could not be ascertained.
4:19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God: the golden altar; and the tables upon which the bread of the Presence was put;
4:20 And the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold to burn according to their ordinance before the innermost sanctuary;
4:21 And the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold, of purest gold;
4:22 And the snuffers and the bowls and the cups and the firepans, of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, its innermost doors for the Holy of Holies, and the doors of the house of the temple, of gold.
