4 Salomone fece l'altare di bronzo lungo venticinque cubiti, largo venticinque e alto dieci. 2 Fece la vasca di metallo fuso del diametro di dieci cubiti, rotonda, alta cinque cubiti; ci voleva una corda di trenta cubiti per cingerla. 3 Sotto l'orlo, per l'intera circonferenza, la circondavano animali dalle sembianze di buoi, dieci per cubito, disposti in due file e fusi insieme con la vasca. 4 Questa poggiava su dodici buoi: tre guardavano verso settentrione, tre verso occidente, tre verso meridione e tre verso oriente. La vasca vi poggiava sopra e le loro parti posteriori erano rivolte verso l'interno. 5 Il suo spessore era di un palmo; il suo orlo era come l'orlo di un calice a forma di giglio. Conteneva tremila bat.
6 Fece anche dieci recipienti per la purificazione ponendone cinque a destra e cinque a sinistra; in essi si lavava quanto si adoperava per l'olocausto. La vasca serviva alle abluzioni dei sacerdoti.
7 Fece dieci candelabri d'oro, secondo la forma prescritta, e li pose nella navata: cinque a destra e cinque a sinistra.
8 Fece dieci tavoli e li collocò nella navata, cinque a destra e cinque a sinistra.
9 Fece il cortile dei sacerdoti, il gran cortile e le porte di detto cortile, che rivestì di bronzo. 10 Collocò la vasca dal lato destro, a sud-est.
11 Curam fece le caldaie, le palette e gli aspersori. Egli portò a termine il lavoro, eseguito nel tempio per il re Salomone: 12 le due colonne, i due globi dei capitelli sopra le colonne, i due reticolati per coprire i globi dei capitelli sopra le colonne, 13 le quattrocento melagrane per i due reticolati, due file di melagrane per ogni reticolato per coprire i due globi dei capitelli sopra le colonne, 14 le dieci basi e i dieci recipienti sulle basi, 15 l'unica vasca e i dodici buoi sotto di essa, 16 le caldaie, le palette, i forchettoni e tutti gli accessori che Curam-Abi fece di bronzo splendido per il re Salomone per il tempio. 17 Il re li fece fondere nella valle del Giordano, nella fonderia, fra Succot e Zereda. 18 Salomone fece tutti questi oggetti in grande quantità da non potersi calcolare il peso del bronzo.
19 Salomone fece tutti gli oggetti destinati al tempio: l'altare d'oro e le tavole, su cui si ponevano i pani dell'offerta, 20 i candelabri e le lampade d'oro da accendersi, come era prescritto, di fronte alla cella, 21 i fiori, le lampade e gli spegnitoi d'oro, di quello più raffinato, 22 i coltelli, gli aspersori, le coppe e i bracieri d'oro fino. Quanto alle porte del tempio, i battenti interni verso il Santo dei santi e i battenti della navata del tempio erano d'oro.

Construction de l’autel d’airain, de la mer d’airain et des ustensiles destinés au Temple
4 Il fit un autel d’airain, long de vingt coudées, large de vingt coudées, et haut de dix coudées.
2 Il fit la mer de métal fondu. Elle avait dix coudées d’un bord à l’autre, une forme entièrement ronde, cinq coudées de hauteur, et une circonférence que mesurait un cordon de trente coudées. 3 Des figures de bœufs l’entouraient au-dessous de son bord, dix par coudée, faisant tout le tour de la mer; les bœufs, disposés sur deux rangs, étaient fondus avec elle en une seule pièce. 4 Elle était posée sur douze bœufs, dont trois tournés vers le nord, trois tournés vers l’occident, trois tournés vers le midi, et trois tournés vers l’orient; la mer était sur eux, et toute la partie postérieure de leur corps était en dedans. 5 Son épaisseur était d’un palme; et son bord, semblable au bord d’une coupe, était façonné en fleur de lis. Elle pouvait contenir trois mille baths.
6 Il fit dix bassins, et il en plaça cinq à droite et cinq à gauche, pour qu’ils servent aux purifications: on y lavait les diverses parties des holocaustes. La mer était destinée aux ablutions des sacrificateurs.
7 Il fit dix chandeliers d’or, selon l’ordonnance qui les concernait, et il les plaça dans le temple, cinq à droite et cinq à gauche.
8 Il fit dix tables, et il les plaça dans le temple, cinq à droite et cinq à gauche. Il fit cent coupes d’or.
9 Il fit le parvis des sacrificateurs, et le grand parvis avec ses portes, dont il couvrit d’airain les battants.
10 Il plaça la mer du côté droit, au sud-est.
11 Huram fit les cendriers, les pelles et les coupes. Ainsi Huram acheva l’ouvrage que le roi Salomon lui fit faire pour la maison de Dieu: 12 deux colonnes, avec les deux chapiteaux et leurs bourrelets sur le sommet des colonnes; les deux treillis, pour couvrir les deux bourrelets des chapiteaux sur le sommet des colonnes; 13 les quatre cents grenades pour les deux treillis, deux rangées de grenades par treillis, pour couvrir les deux bourrelets des chapiteaux sur le sommet des colonnes; 14 les dix bases, et les dix bassins sur les bases; 15 la mer, et les douze bœufs sous elle; 16 les cendriers, les pelles et les fourchettes. Tous ces ustensiles que le roi Salomon fit faire à Huram-Abi pour la maison de l’Eternel étaient d’airain poli. 17 Le roi les fit fondre dans la plaine du Jourdain, dans un sol argileux, entre Succoth et Tseréda. 18 Salomon fit tous ces ustensiles en si grande quantité que l’on ne vérifia pas le poids de l’airain.
19 Salomon fit encore tous les autres ustensiles pour la maison de Dieu: l’autel d’or; les tables sur lesquelles on mettait les pains de proposition; 20 les chandeliers et leurs lampes d’or pur, qu’on devait allumer selon l’ordonnance devant le sanctuaire, 21 les fleurs, les lampes et les mouchettes d’or, d’or très pur; 22 les couteaux, les coupes, les tasses et les brasiers d’or pur; et les battants d’or pour la porte de l’intérieur de la maison à l’entrée du lieu très saint, et pour la porte de la maison à l’entrée du temple.

The Temple’s Furnishings(A)
4 He made a bronze altar(B) twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.[a] 2 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. 3 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.
4 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. 5 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]
6 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.
7 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.
8 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)
9 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.

4 Moreover he made an altar of brass, 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 an 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, 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 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, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons 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 basons. 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 Zeredathah.
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 shewbread 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 basons, 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.
