4:1 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length
of it, and twenty cubits the breadth of it, and ten cubits the
hight of it.
4:2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim,
round in compass, and five cubits the hight of it; and a line
of thirty cubits encompassed it.
4:3 And under it [was] the similitude of oxen, which encompassed
it: ten in a cubit, encompassing the sea. Two rows of oxen
[were] cast, when it was cast.
4:4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking towards the north,
and three looking towards the west, and three looking towards
the south, and three looking towards the east: and the sea [was
set] above upon them, and all their hinder parts [were] inward.
4:5 And the thickness of it [was] a hand-breadth, 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.
4:6 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.
4:7 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.
4:8 He made also ten tables, and placed [them] in the temple,
five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a
hundred basins of gold.
4:9 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.
4:10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over
against the south.
4:11 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;
4:12 [To wit], the two pillars, and the pommels, and the
capitals [which were] on the top of the two pillars, and the
two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the capitals which
[were] on the top of the pillars;
4:13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows
of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the
capitals which [were] upon the pillars.
4:14 He made also bases, and lavers he made upon the bases;
4:15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
4:16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and
all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king
Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.
4:17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay
ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
4:18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for
the weight of the brass could not be ascertained.
4:19 And Solomon made all the vessels that [were for] the house
of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the
show-bread [was set];
4:20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they
should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
4:21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, [made he of]
gold, [and] that perfect gold;
4:22 And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the
censers, [of] pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner
doors of it for the most holy [place], and the doors of the
house of the temple, [were of] gold.
