Chapter 4 |
| 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 a
molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits
the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round
about. |
| 3 |
And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it
round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen
were 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 above
upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. |
| 5 | And the
thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the
brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and 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 they offered for the burnt
offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
|
| 7 | And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and 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 an 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 east end, over against the south.
|
| 11 | And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram
finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of
God; |
| 12 |
To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters
which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two
pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars; |
| 13 | And
four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each
wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the
pillars. |
| 14
| He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the
bases; |
| 15
| One sea, and twelve oxen under it. |
| 16 | The pots
also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram
his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright
brass. |
| 17
| In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the
clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah. |
|
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 for the house
of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was
set; |
| 20 |
Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should
burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold; |
| 21 | And the
flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect
gold; |
| 22 |
And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the
censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for
the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of
gold. |
