I hanga ano e ia te aata parahi, e rua tekau whatianga te roa, e rua tekau whatianga te whanui, kotahi tekau hoki whatianga te tiketike.

I hanga ano te moana, he mea whakarewa, tekau nga whatianga o tetahi pareparenga ki tetahi pareparenga, he mea porotaka, e rima whatianga tona tiketike: e toru tekau whatianga o te aho i paea ai.

I raro ko etahi mea e rite ana ki te kau, a taka noa, kotahi tekau nga whatianga, i te taha o te moana, a taka noa. E rua rarangi o nga kau i whakarewaina i tona whakarewanga.

I runga i nga kau kotahi tekau ma rua taua moana e tu ana, e toru e anga ana ki te raki, e toru e anga ana ki te hauauru, e toru e anga ana ki te tonga, e toru e anga ana ki te rawhiti: i runga hoki ko te moana; i anga whakaroto a muri katoa o ra tou.

He whanuitanga ringa te matotoru; rite tonu te hanganga o tona niao ki to te niao o te kapu, ki te puawai rengarenga; e toru mano pati o roto o taua moana ina ki.

A i hanga e ia etahi oko koroi kotahi tekau, a whakaturia ana e rima ki matau, e rima ki maui, hei horoinga. Ko nga mea i whakaekea hei tahunga tinana i horoia ki reira; ko te moana ia hei horoinga mo nga tohunga.

Na i hanga e ia nga turanga rama koura kotahi tekau, ki te ahau i whakaritea mo era mea; whakaturia ana e ia ki te temepara; e rima ki matau, e rima ki maui.

I hanga ano e ia nga tepu kotahi tekau, whakaturia ana ki te temepara, e rima ki matau, e rima ki maui. I hanga ano nga peihana koura kotahi rau.

I hanga ano e ia te marae o nga tohunga, me te marae nui, me nga tatau mo te marae; i whakakikoruatia nga tatau o aua wahi ki te parahi.

10 Na, ko te moana, whakatakotoria ana ki matau o te pito ki te rawhiti, whaka te tonga.

11 I hanga ano e Hurama nga pata, nga koko pungarehu, nga peihana. Na kua oti i a Hurama te mahi i mahia e ia ma Kingi Horomona i te whare o te Atua;

12 Nga pou e rua, nga peihana, nga whakapaipai e rua i te pito ki runga o nga pou e rua, nga kupenga e rua hei kopaki mo nga peihana e rua o nga whakapaipai i te pito ki runga o nga pou;

13 Me nga pamekaranete e wha rau mo nga kupenga e rua; e rua rarangi pamekaranete mo tetahi kupenga hei kopaki mo nga peihana e rua o nga whakapaipai i nga pou.

14 I hanga ano e ia nga turanga; i hanga ano nga oko horoi i runga i nga turanga.

15 Kotahi te moana, tekau ma rua nga kau i raro i taua moana.

16 Ko nga pata, me nga koko pungarehu, me nga marau, me o ratou mea katoa, i hanga era e tona papa, e Hurama, ma Kingi Horomona mo te whare o Ihowa, kanapa tonu te parahi.

17 I whakarewaina aua mea e te kingi ki te mania o Horano, ki te wahi onematua i te takiwa o Hukota, o Tereata.

18 Heoi hanga ana e Horomona enei oko katoa, he tini noa iho; kihai hoki i kitea te taimaha o te parahi.

19 I hanga ano e Horomona nga oko katoa mo te whare o te Atua, me te aata koura, me nga tepu hei takotoranga mo te taro aroaro;

20 Me nga turanga rama, me o reira rama e tahuna nei ki mua i te ahurewa, ko te tikanga hoki tena; he mea parakore te koura;

21 Ko nga puawai, ko nga rama, ko nga kokopi, he mea koura, he koura pai rawa;

22 Me nga kuku, me nga peihana, me nga koko, me nga tahu kakara, he parakore te koura; me te tapokoranga ki te whare, me ona tatau o roto ki te wahi tino tapu, me nga tatau o te whare, ara o te temepara, he koura.

The Temple’s Furnishings(A)

He made a bronze altar(B) twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.[a] He made the Sea(C) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits[b] high. It took a line of thirty cubits[c] to measure around it. Below the rim, figures of bulls encircled it—ten to a cubit.[d] The bulls were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.

The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east.(D) The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. It was a handbreadth[e] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held three thousand baths.[f]

He then made ten basins(E) for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. In them the things to be used for the burnt offerings(F) were rinsed, but the Sea was to be used by the priests for washing.

He made ten gold lampstands(G) according to the specifications(H) for them and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.

He made ten tables(I) and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold sprinkling bowls.(J)

He made the courtyard(K) of the priests, and the large court and the doors for the court, and overlaid the doors with bronze. 10 He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.

11 And Huram also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls.

So Huram finished(L) the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of God:

12 the two pillars;

the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);

14 the stands(M) with their basins;

15 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

16 the pots, shovels, meat forks and all related articles.

All the objects that Huram-Abi(N) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of polished bronze. 17 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Sukkoth(O) and Zarethan.[g] 18 All these things that Solomon made amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze(P) could not be calculated.

19 Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in God’s temple:

the golden altar;

the tables(Q) on which was the bread of the Presence;

20 the lampstands(R) of pure gold with their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;

21 the gold floral work and lamps and tongs (they were solid gold);

22 the pure gold wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes(S) and censers;(T) and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place and the doors of the main hall.
