성전의 기구들

(왕상 7:23-51)

솔로몬이 놋으로 제단을 만들었는데 그 길이가 스무 자[a], 너비가 스무 자, 높이가 열 자[b]였다. 그가 또 놋쇠로 바다 모양의 물통을 만들었는데 그 지름이 열 자, 높이가 다섯 자[c], 둘레가 서른 자[d]였다. 물통의 가장자리 턱 밑으로 놋쇠로 만든 황소 모양이, 한 자[e]에 열 마리씩 빙 둘러가며 있었다. 이것들은 놋쇠를 부어 물통을 만들 때에 두 줄로 부어 만든 것이다.

황소 열두 마리가 이 바다 모양의 물통을 밑에서 떠받치고 있었는데 세 마리는 북쪽을, 세 마리는 서쪽을, 세 마리는 남쪽을, 또 세 마리는 동쪽을 보고 있었다. 그 물통의 두께는 손바닥 너비[f]만하고, 그 테두리는 나리꽃 모양으로 잔의 테두리처럼 둥글게 만들었다. 이 바다 모양의 물통에는 물 삼천 말[g]을 담을 수 있었다.

그런 다음 그는 씻을 물을 담을 물두멍 열 개를 만들어서 다섯은 성전 오른쪽에 두고, 다섯은 성전 왼쪽에 두었다. 번제물로 바치는 데 쓸 것들은 이 물두멍의 물로 부시고, 바다 모양의 물통에 담긴 물로는 제사장들이 씻었다.

그는 또 금등잔대 열 개를 규격대로 만들어 다섯 개는 본관 안 오른쪽에 두고, 다섯 개는 왼쪽에 두었다. 또 상 열 개를 만들어 다섯 개는 본관 안 오른쪽에 두고 다섯 개는 왼쪽에 두었다. 그는 대접 백 개를 금으로 만들었다.

그는 또 제사장의 뜰과 큰 뜰을 만들고, 큰 뜰 대문에는 문짝들을 만들어 달고 놋쇠를 입혔다. 10 그리고 바다 모양의 물통은 성전 남동쪽 모퉁이에 놓았다.

11 후람은 솥, 부삽, 대접을 만들었다.

이렇게 하여 후람은 솔로몬 왕이 시킨 하나님의 성전 일을 모두 마쳤다. 12 그가 만든 것들은 기둥 두 개, 기둥 꼭대기에 얹을 사발 모양의 기둥머리 두 개, 기둥 꼭대기에 얹을 사발 모양의 기둥머리를 꾸밀 그물 두 벌, 13 두 그물에 늘어뜨릴 석류 사백 개(사발 모양의 기둥머리를 기둥 꼭대기에 얹고, 그 기둥머리를 꾸미기 위해 두 벌의 그물을 얹고, 각 그물에 석류를 두 줄씩 늘어뜨렸다.), 14 받침대와 받침대 위에 놓을 물두멍, 15 바다 모양의 물통 한 개, 그것을 떠받치는 황소 모양 열두 개, 16 솥과 부삽과 고기 갈고리와 거기에 관련된 모든 기구였다.

솔로몬 왕을 위하여 후람아비가 만든 주의 성전의 이 기구들은 모두 광택 나는 놋쇠로 만든 것이다. 17 왕은 이 모든 것을 숙곳과 사레단[h] 사이에 있는 요르단 평원에서, 진흙 틀에 부어 넣어 만들게 하였다. 18 솔로몬이 만든 이 모든 기구가 너무 많아서 거기에 쓰인 놋쇠의 무게가 얼마인지 알 수 없다.

19 솔로몬은 또 하나님의 성전 안에 있는 모든 기구도 만들었다. 그 기구들은 금제단, 빵을 늘 차려 놓는 상들, 20 지성소 앞에 규정대로 켜 놓을 순금 등잔들과 등잔대들, 21 금으로 만든 꽃 장식과 등잔들, 부젓가락들, 22 순금으로 만든 심지 다듬는 가위들, 대접들, 국자들, 향로들, 성전 문들, 곧 금으로 만든 안쪽 지성소의 문짝들과 본관 문짝들이다.

The Temple's Furnishings

He made (A)an altar of bronze, twenty cubits[a] long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high. (B)Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. Under it were figures of gourds,[b] for ten cubits, compassing the sea all around. The gourds were in two rows, cast with it when it was cast. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and all their rear parts were inward. Its thickness was a handbreadth.[c] And its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. (C)It held 3,000 baths.[d] (D)He also made ten basins 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.

And he made ten golden lampstands (E)as prescribed, and set them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. (F)He 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. He made (G)the court of the priests (H)and the great court and doors for the court and overlaid their doors with bronze. 10 (I)And he set the sea at the southeast corner of the house.

11 (J)(K)Hiram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. (L)So Hiram finished the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God: 12 the two pillars, (M)the bowls, and the two capitals on the top of the pillars; and the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; 13 (N)and the 400 pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for each latticework, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars. 14 (O)He made the stands also, and the basins on the stands, 15 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath it. 16 The pots, the shovels, (P)the forks, and all the equipment for these (Q)(R)Huram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the Lord. 17 In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.[e] 18 (S)Solomon made all these things in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze was not sought.

19 So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God: the golden altar, (T)the tables for the bread of the Presence, 20 the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold (U)to burn before the inner sanctuary, as prescribed; 21 the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of purest gold; 22 the snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and fire pans, of pure gold, and the sockets[f] 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.

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.
