Diḇre haYamim Bĕt (2 Chronicles) 4

4
1And he made a slaughter-place of bronze, twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.
2And he made the Sea of cast metal, ten cubits from one rim to the other, round all about. And its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured around it.
3And figures like oxen were under it, all around it, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. Two rows of oxen were cast when it was cast.
4It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, and three facing west, and three facing south, and three facing east. And the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts were inward.
5And it was a handbreadth thick, and its rim was shaped like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held three thousand baths.
6And he made ten basins, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them. In them they rinsed off what pertains to the ascending offering, but the Sea was for the priests to wash in.
7And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their ruling, and set them in the Hĕḵal, five on the right side and five on the left.
8And he made ten tables, and placed them in the Hĕḵal, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made one hundred bowls of gold.
9And he made the courtyard of the priests, and the great court and doors for the court. And he overlaid these doors with bronze.
10And he placed the Sea on the right side, eastward over against the south.
11And Ḥuram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Ḥuram completed doing the work that he was to do for Sovereign Shelomoh for the House of Elohim:
12the two columns and the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two columns, and the two networks to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the columns;
13and 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 columns.
14And he made stands and the basins on the stands,
15one Sea and twelve oxen under it;
16and the pots, and the shovels, and the forks. And all their vessels Ḥuram his master craftsman made of polished bronze for Sovereign Shelomoh for the House of יהוה.
17On the plain of Yardĕn the sovereign had them cast in clay moulds, between Sukkoth and Tserĕḏathah.
18And Shelomoh made so large a number of all these vessels that the weight of the bronze was not searched out.
19And Shelomoh had all the furnishings made for the House of Elohim, and the slaughter-place of gold and the tables on which was the showbread,
20and the lampstands with their lamps of refined gold, to burn according to right-ruling in front of the Speaking Place,
21and the blossoms and the lamps and the snuffers of gold, of perfect gold,
22and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the ladles, and the fire holders of refined gold. And the entrance to the House, its inner doors to the Most Set-apart Place, and the doors of the Hĕḵal of the House, were of gold.
