圣殿的器具
4 所罗门造了一座铜坛，长九米，宽九米，高四点五米。 2 他又铸了一个圆形铜海，高二点二五米，直径四点五米，周长十三点五米。 3 铜海边缘下方有两圈牛的图案，每五十厘米有十头牛，是铸铜海的时候铸上的。 4 有十二头铜牛驮着铜海，三头向北，三头向西，三头向南，三头向东，牛尾向内。 5 铜海厚八厘米，边如杯边，又如百合花，容量为六万六千升。 6 他又造了十个盆，五个放右边，五个放左边，用来清洗献燔祭所用之物。但铜海只供祭司沐浴使用。
7 他照着所定的式样，造了十个金灯台放在殿里，五个在右边，五个在左边； 8 又造了十张桌子放在殿里，五个在右边，五个在左边；还造了一百个金碗。 9 他又建了祭司院、大院及大院的门，门都包上铜。 10 铜海放在殿的右边，就是东南方。
11 户兰又造了盆、铲和碗。他为所罗门王完成了上帝殿里的工作。 12 户兰所制造的有：两根柱子，两个碗状的柱冠，两个装饰柱冠的网子， 13 用来装饰碗状柱冠、安在两个网子上的四百石榴——每个网子上两行； 14 盆座及盆座上的盆； 15 铜海和铜海下面的十二头铜牛； 16 盆、铲、肉叉及耶和华殿里的一切器具。这些都是巧匠户兰用磨亮的铜为所罗门王制造的。 17 这些都是照王的命令，在疏割和撒利但之间的约旦平原用泥模铸成的。 18 所罗门制造的器具极多，铜的重量无法统计。
19 所罗门又造了上帝殿里的金坛和放置供饼的桌子， 20 按规定放在内殿前的纯金的灯台和灯盏， 21 以及纯金的花饰、灯盏、火钳、 22 蜡剪、碗、碟和火鼎。殿门和至圣所的门也是金的。

The Altar and Basins
4 He made a bronze altar(A) 30 feet[a] long, 30 feet wide, and 15 feet[b] high.
2 Then he made the cast metal basin,[c](B) 15 feet from brim to brim, perfectly round. It was 7½ feet[d] high and 45 feet[e] in circumference. 3 The likeness of oxen[f] was below it, completely encircling it, ten every half yard,[g] completely surrounding the basin. The oxen were cast in two rows when the basin was cast. 4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The basin was on top of them and all their hindquarters were toward the center. 5 The basin was three inches[h] thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup or a lily blossom. It could hold eleven thousand gallons.[i]
6 He made ten basins for washing and he put five on the right and five on the left.(C) The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them,(D) but the basin was used by the priests for washing.
The Lampstands, Tables, and Courts
7 He made the ten gold lampstands according to their specifications and put them in the sanctuary, five on the right and five on the left.(E) 8 He made ten tables and placed them in the sanctuary, five on the right and five on the left.(F) He also made a hundred gold bowls.
9 He made the courtyard(G) of the priests and the large court, and doors for the court. He overlaid the doors with bronze. 10 He put the basin on the right side, toward the southeast.(H) 11 Then Huram[j](I) made(J) the pots, the shovels, and the bowls.
Completion of the Bronze Furnishings
So Huram finished doing the work that he was doing for King Solomon in God’s temple: 12 two pillars; the bowls and the capitals on top of the two pillars; the two gratings for covering both bowls of the capitals that were on top of the pillars; 13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two gratings (two rows of pomegranates for each grating covering both capitals’ bowls on top of the pillars(K)). 14 He also made the water carts[k](L) and the basins on the water carts. 15 The one basin and the twelve oxen underneath it, 16 the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all their utensils—Huram-abi[l](M) made them for King Solomon for the Lord’s temple. All these were made of polished bronze. 17 The king had them cast in clay molds in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zeredah. 18 Solomon made all these utensils in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze was not determined.
Completion of the Gold Furnishings
19 Solomon also made all the equipment in God’s temple: the gold altar; the tables on which to put the Bread of the Presence;(N) 20 the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold to burn in front of the inner sanctuary according to specifications;(O) 21 the flowers, lamps, and gold tongs—of purest gold; 22 the wick trimmers, sprinkling basins, ladles,[m] and firepans—of purest gold; and the entryway to the temple, its inner doors to the most holy place, and the doors of the temple sanctuary—of gold.

New King James Version
Furnishings of the Temple(A)
4 Moreover he made (B)a bronze altar: twenty cubits was its length, twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.
2 (C)Then he made the [a]Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. 3 (D)And under it was the likeness of oxen encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The oxen were cast in two rows, when it was cast. 4 It stood on twelve (E)oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward. 5 It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained [b]three thousand baths.
6 He also made (F)ten lavers, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they would wash in them, but the [c]Sea was for the (G)priests to wash in. 7 (H)And he made ten lampstands of gold (I)according to their design, and set them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. 8 (J)He also made ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made one hundred (K)bowls of gold.
9 Furthermore (L)he made the court of the priests, and the (M)great court and doors for the court; and he overlaid these doors with bronze. 10 (N)He set the Sea on the right side, toward the southeast.
11 Then (O)Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of God: 12 the two pillars and (P)the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the pillars; 13 (Q)four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on the pillars); 14 he also made (R)carts and the lavers on the carts; 15 one Sea and twelve oxen under it; 16 also the pots, the shovels, the forks—and all their articles (S)Huram his [d]master craftsman made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the Lord.
17 In the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between Succoth and [e]Zeredah. 18 (T)And Solomon had all these articles made in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze was not determined.
19 Thus (U)Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of God: the altar of gold and the tables on which was (V)the showbread; 20 the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn (W)in the prescribed manner in front of the inner sanctuary, 21 with (X)the flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold, of purest gold; 22 the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold. As for the entry of the [f]sanctuary, its inner doors to the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple, were gold.
