2 Chronicles 4
World English Bible
4 Then he made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits[a] long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high. 2 Also he made the molten sea[b] of ten cubits from brim to brim. It was round, five cubits high, and thirty cubits in circumference. 3 Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast. 4 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hindquarters were inward. 5 It was a handbreadth thick. Its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It received and held three thousand baths.[c] 6 He also made ten basins, and put five on the right hand and five on the left, to wash in them. The things that belonged to the burnt offering were washed in them, but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 He made the ten lamp stands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he 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. He made one hundred basins of gold. 9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze. 10 He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
11 Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins.
So Huram finished doing the work that he did for King Solomon in God’s house: 12 the two pillars, the bowls, the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars, 13 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks—two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars. 14 He also made the bases, and he made the basins on the bases— 15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it. 16 Huram-abi[d] also made the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels for King Solomon, for Yahweh’s house, of bright bronze. 17 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah. 18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, so that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.
19 Solomon made all the vessels that were in God’s house: the golden altar, the tables with the show bread on them, 20 and the lamp stands with their lamps to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; 21 and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold that was purest gold; 22 and the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans of pure gold. As for the entry of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.

New International Version
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.

De voorwerpen voor de tempel
4 Ook maakte Salomo een koperen altaar. Het was 20 el (9 m) lang, 20 el breed en 10 el (4,50 m) hoog. 2 Verder maakte hij een waskom: een grote wijde schaal van gegoten brons.[a] Hij was helemaal rond en van rand tot rand was hij 10 el (4,50 m). Hij was 5 el (2,25 m) hoog en had een omtrek van 30 el (13,50 m). 3 Onder de rand van deze waskom waren ossen afgebeeld, helemaal rondom de schaal. Ze zaten in twee rijen en waren één geheel met de schaal. Er waren tien ossen per el (per 45 cm). 4 De schaal stond op twaalf ossen die met hun staarten naar elkaar toe stonden. Drie ossen stonden met hun kop naar het noorden, drie naar het westen, drie naar het zuiden en drie naar het oosten. 5 De schaal was 1 handbreedte (8 cm) dik en de rand was naar buiten omgebogen, als de rand van een beker, of als de bloemkelk van een lelie. Er kon 3000 bat (66.000 liter) water in de schaal.
6 Verder maakte hij tien waterschalen. Hij zette er vijf aan de linkerkant en vijf aan de rechterkant van de tempel. In die schalen werden de stukken offervlees afgespoeld. Maar in de grote wijde schaal moesten de priesters zich baden. 7 Hij maakte ook tien gouden kandelaars. Ze waren gemaakt naar het voorbeeld dat God gegeven had[b] Want dat had God bevolen. Hij zette ze in de voorzaal van de tempel: vijf aan de rechterkant en vijf aan de linkerkant. 8 Ook maakte hij tien tafels en zette die in de voorzaal van de tempel: vijf aan de rechterkant en vijf aan de linkerkant. Verder maakte hij 100 gouden offerschalen.[c]
9 Hij maakte een binnenplein voor de priesters en een groot buitenplein. Hij maakte deuren voor het buitenplein en bedekte die met koper. 10 De grote waskom zette hij (als je aan de oostkant naar buiten komt) rechts van de tempel. Dat is dus aan de zuidkant van het plein. 11 Hiram maakte ook de potten, scheppen en offerschalen. Zo maakte hij alles wat hij van koning Salomo voor de tempel van God moest maken: 12 de twee pilaren, de twee bollen op de sierstukken op de top van de pilaren, de twee koperen netten die de bollen bedekten, 13 de 400 granaatappels die in twee rijen op elk netwerk werden vastgemaakt, 14 de onderstellen, de waterschalen op de onderstellen, 15 de grote waskom met de twaalf ossen daaronder, 16 en de potten, scheppen, vorken en alles wat erbij hoorde. Al deze dingen die Hiram voor koning Salomo voor de tempel van de Heer maakte, waren van gepolijst koper. 17 De koning liet ze gieten in de vlakte van de Jordaan, in de dikke laag klei tussen Sukkot en Zeredata. 18 Salomo maakte grote aantallen van al deze voorwerpen. Daarom werd er niet uitgerekend hoeveel al dat koper woog.
19 Verder liet Salomo alle andere dingen voor de tempel van de Heer maken: het gouden altaar, de gouden tafel voor de heilige broden, 20 de gouden kandelaars met de gouden olie-lampen daarop die volgens het voorschrift vóór de achterzaal moesten branden, 21 de gouden bloemen, de gouden olie-lampen en de gouden scharen om de lonten mee te knippen, alles van het zuiverste goud. 22 Verder de gouden vorken, de gouden offerschalen, de gouden lepels en de gouden vuurpannen van zuiver goud. Ook de deuren van de tempel, de deuren naar de allerheiligste kamer en de deuren naar de voorzaal van de tempel die allemaal met goud bedekt werden.

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.
