Furnishings of the Temple^(A)

4 Moreover he made ^(B)a bronze altar: twenty cubits was its length, twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.

^2 (C)Then he made the ^[a]Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. ^3 (D)And under it was the likeness of oxen encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The oxen were cast in two rows, when it was cast. ⁴ It stood on twelve ^(E)oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward. ⁵ It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained ^[b]three thousand baths.

⁶ He also made ^(F)ten lavers, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they would wash in them, but the ^[c]Sea was for the ^(G)priests to wash in. ^7 (H)And he made ten lampstands of gold ^(I)according to their design, and set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. ^8 (J)He also made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made one hundred ^(K)bowls of gold.

⁹ Furthermore ^(L)he made the court of the priests, and the ^(M)great court and doors for the court; and he overlaid these doors with bronze. ^10 (N)He set the Sea on the right side, toward the southeast.

¹¹ Then ^(O)Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of God: ¹² the two pillars and ^(P)the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the pillars; ^13 (Q)four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on the pillars); ¹⁴ he also made ^(R)carts and the lavers on the carts; ¹⁵ one Sea and twelve oxen under it; ¹⁶ also the pots, the shovels, the forks—and all their articles ^(S)Huram his ^[d]master craftsman made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the Lord.

¹⁷ In the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between Succoth and ^[e]Zeredah. ^18 (T)And Solomon had all these articles made in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze was not determined.

¹⁹ Thus ^(U)Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of God: the altar of gold and the tables on which was ^(V)the showbread; ²⁰ the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn ^(W)in the prescribed manner in front of the inner sanctuary, ²¹ with ^(X)the flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold, of purest gold; ²² the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold. As for the entry of the ^[f]sanctuary, its inner doors to the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple, were gold.
