1He made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high. 24.2-5: 1 Kings 7.23-26.Then he made the molten sea; it was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. 3Under it were figures of gourds,4.3 1 Kings 7.24: Heb oxen for thirty4.3 Compare verse 2: Heb ten cubits, compassing the sea round about; the gourds4.3 1 Kings 7.24: Heb oxen were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast. 4It stood upon twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; the sea was set upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 5Its thickness was a handbreadth; and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; it held over three thousand baths. 64.6–5.1: 1 Kings 7.38-51.He also made ten lavers in which to wash, and set five on the south side, and five on the north side. In these they were to rinse off what was used for the burnt offering, and the sea was for the priests to wash in.

7And he made ten golden lampstands as prescribed, and set them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. 8He also made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. And he made a hundred basins of gold. 9He made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze; 10and he set the sea at the southeast corner of the house.

11Huram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Huram finished the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God: 12the two pillars, the bowls, and the two capitals on the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; 13and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the pillars. 14He made the stands also, and the lavers upon the stands, 15and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath it. 16The pots, the shovels, the forks, and all the equipment for these Huram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the LORD. 17In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zer'edah. 18Solomon made all these things in great quantities, so that the weight of the bronze was not ascertained.

19So Solomon made all the things that were in the house of God: the golden altar, the tables for the bread of the Presence, 20the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold to burn before the inner sanctuary, as prescribed; 21the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of purest gold; 22the snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and firepans, of pure gold; and the sockets4.22 1 Kings 7.50: Heb the door of the house of the temple, for the inner doors to the most holy place and for the doors of the nave of the temple were of gold.
