2 Chronicles 4 1-2 Chronicles 4 18
Then he made a bronze altar, twenty cubits in length, twenty cubits in width, and ten cubits in height.He also made the Sea of cast metal, ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits and its circumference thirty cubits.Now figures like oxen were under it and all around it, ten cubits, entirely encircling the Sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast in one piece.It was standing on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the Sea was set on top of them and all their hindquarters turned inward.It was a hand width thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom; it could hold three thousand baths.He also made ten basins in which to wash, and he set five on the right side and five on the left to rinse things for the burnt offering; but the Sea was for the priests to wash in.Then he made the ten golden lampstands in the way prescribed for them, and he set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left.He also made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred golden bowls.Then he made the courtyard of the priests and the great courtyard, and doors for the courtyard, and overlaid their doors with bronze.He put the Sea on the right side of the house toward the southeast.Huram also made the pails, the shovels, and the bowls. So Huram finished the work that he did for King Solomon in the house of God:the two pillars, the bowls and the two capitals on top of the pillars, and the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on top of the pillars,and the four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for each latticework to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the pillars.He also made the stands and he made the basins on the stands,and the one Sea with the twelve oxen under it.The pails, the shovels, the forks, and all its utensils, Huram abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon, for the house of the Lord.On the plain of the Jordan the king cast them in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.So Solomon made all these utensils in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
