                                 DASV: 2 Chronicles 4     

1 He made an altar of bronze, 30 feet long, and 30 feet wide, and 15 feet high.
2 Also he made the cast metal basin called "The Sea." It was circular 15 feet across from rim to rim; and 7 ½ feet deep and about 45 feet around.
3 Under it were figures like bulls each 15 feet all around the Sea. The bulls were in two rows, cast with the basin itself.
4 It stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing toward the east. The Sea was set on top of them, and all their backsides were toward the inside.
5 It was 3 inches thick; and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It could hold 17,500 gallons.
6 He made also ten wash basins, and put five on the right hand and five on the left. They were used for rinsing for the burnt offering; but the Sea was exclusively for the priests to wash in.
7 He made ten lampstands of gold according to the specifications concerning them. He set them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left.
8 He made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. He also made a 100 gold basins.
9 He made the court of the priests and the great court and doors for the court. He overlaid their doors with bronze.
10 He set the sea on the right side, near the southeast corner.
11 Huram-abi also made the pots, shovels, and bowls. So Huram-abi finished the work that he did for King Solomon on the temple of God,
12 the two pillars, and two bowl-shaped capitals that were on the top of the pillars, and the two chain networks covering the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars,
13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two chain networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to decorate the two bowls of the capitals that were on top of the pillars.
14 He made also the stands, and the basins to be set on the stands,
15 the Sea, and the twelve oxen under it,
16 pots and shovels, and the meat-hooks. All its items, Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD of polished bronze.
17 In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.
18 Solomon made all these items in great quantities so much that its weight of the bronze could not be ascertained.
19 So Solomon made all the items that were in the house of God, the golden altar, the tables for the bread of the Presence,
20 and the lampstands with their gold lamps, to burn according to the regulations before the inner sanctuary;
21 the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of pure gold;
22 the snuffers, basins, ladles, and the firepans were all of pure gold. As for the entry of the temple, its inner doors for the most holy place, and for the doors of the main Temple, were all of gold.
