造铜坛铸铜海
4 他又制造一座铜坛，长二十肘，宽二十肘，高十肘。 2 又铸一个铜海，样式是圆的，高五肘，径十肘，围三十肘。 3 海周围有野瓜[a]的样式，每肘十瓜，共有两行，是铸海的时候铸上的。 4 有十二只铜牛驮海，三只向北，三只向西，三只向南，三只向东。海在牛上，牛尾向内。 5 海厚一掌，边如杯边，又如百合花，可容三千罢特。
造洗濯盆
6 又制造十个盆，五个放在右边，五个放在左边。献燔祭所用之物都洗在其内，但海是为祭司沐浴的。
造金灯台造桌
7 他又照所定的样式造十个金灯台，放在殿里，五个在右边，五个在左边。 8 又造十张桌子，放在殿里，五张在右边，五张在左边。又造一百个金碗。
建院及院门
9 又建立祭司院和大院并院门，用铜包裹门扇。 10 将海安在殿门的右边，就是南边。
造圣殿诸器
11 户兰又造了盆、铲、碗。这样，他为所罗门王做完了神殿的工， 12 所造的就是两根柱子和柱上两个如球的顶，并两个盖柱顶的网子， 13 和四百石榴，安在两个网子上，每网两行，盖着两个柱上如球的顶。 14 盆座和其上的盆， 15 海和海下的十二只牛， 16 盆、铲子、肉叉子，与耶和华殿里的一切器皿。都是巧匠户兰用光亮的铜为所罗门王造成的， 17 是在约旦平原疏割和撒利但中间，借胶泥铸成的。 18 所罗门制造的这一切甚多，铜的轻重无法可查。
19 所罗门又造神殿里的金坛和陈设饼的桌子， 20 并精金的灯台和灯盏，可以照例点在内殿前。 21 灯台上的花和灯盏并蜡剪都是金的，且是纯金的。 22 又用精金制造镊子、盘子、调羹、火鼎。至于殿门和至圣所的门扇并殿的门扇，都是金子装饰的。

Chapter 4
1 Then Solomon made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high. 2 After that, he made the sea of cast metal. It was circular in shape, ten cubits from rim to rim, and five cubits high.
3 Under the sea and completely encircling the thirty cubits of its circumference there was a ring of figures of oxen in two rows, ten to the cubit. 4 It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The hindquarters of each faced inward, and the sea was set on them. 5 It was a hand’s breadth in thickness, and its rim was like that of a cup—lily-shaped. It could hold three thousand baths.[a]
6 He also made ten basins for washing, placing five on the right and five on the left. These were to be employed to rinse what would be used for the burnt offerings. However, the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 Then he made ten lampstands of gold as prescribed and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. 8 He also made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left, as well as one hundred basins of gold.[b]
9 Next he made the court of the priests and the great courtyard with its gates. After he had overlaid the doors with bronze, 10 he placed the sea off to the southeast on the right-hand side of the temple.
11 Meanwhile Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. He thus completed all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon on the temple of God: 12 the two pillars, the bowls, and the two capitals that were on the top of the pillars; the two sets of filigree to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; 13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, with two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover two bowl-shaped capitals surmounting the two pillars; 14 the ten stands and the basins on the stands; 15 the one sea and the twelve oxen that supported it; 16 likewise the pots, the shovels, and the basins—all of these articles Huram-abi made of burnished bronze cast for King Solomon for the house of the Lord.
17 Then the king had them cast in the foundry between Succoth and Zeredah in the plain of the Jordan. 18 Solomon made all these objects in great quantities, and as a result, the weight of the bronze was not determined.
19 Solomon had all of these articles made for the Lord God: the golden altar, the tables for the bread of the Presence, 20 [c]the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold to burn before the inner sanctuary as prescribed; 21 the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of the purest gold; 22 the snuffers, the bowls, the ladles, and the firepans of pure gold. As for the entrance to the temple, the inner doors to the Most Holy Place and the doors to the nave of the temple were of gold.

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.
