2 Chronicles 4
The Furnishings for the
Temple |
1 Kgs. 7.23-51 |
1 |
Moreover he made an altar of brass, Ex.
27.1, 2 twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the
breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
|
2 |
Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits
from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height
thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round
about.
|
3 |
And under it was the similitude of
oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing
the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was
cast.
|
4 |
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking
toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three
looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the
sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
|
5 |
And the thickness of it was a
handbreadth, 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.
|
6 |
He made also ten lavers, Ex. 30.17-21 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.
|
7 |
And he made ten candlesticks of gold Ex.
25.31-40 according to their form, and set them in
the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
|
8 |
He made also ten tables, Ex. 25.23-30 and placed them in the temple, five on the right side,
and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of
gold.
|
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.
|
10 |
And he set the sea on the right side of
the east end, over against the south.
|
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;
|
12 |
to wit, the two pillars, and the
pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two
pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the
chapiters which were on the top of the pillars;
|
13 |
and four hundred pomegranates on the two
wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two
pommels of the chapiters which were upon the
pillars.
|
14 |
He made also bases, and lavers made he
upon the bases;
|
15 |
one sea, and twelve oxen under
it.
|
16 |
The pots also, and the shovels, and the
fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to
king Solomon for the house of the LORD, of
bright brass.
|
17 |
In the plain of Jordan did the king cast
them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zere'dathah.
|
18 |
Thus Solomon made all these vessels in
great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found
out.
|
19 |
And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the
tables whereon the showbread was set;
|
20 |
moreover the candlesticks with their
lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of
pure gold;
|
21 |
and the flowers, and the lamps, and the
tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect
gold;
|
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 thereof for the most holy place, and
the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
