¹⁶ The pots, the shovels, ^(A)the forks, and all the equipment for these ^(B)(C)Huram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the Lord.

¹³ “Now I have sent a skilled man, who has understanding, Huram-abi,

^11 (A)(B)Hiram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. ^(C)So Hiram finished the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of God:

¹⁷ and pure gold for the forks, the basins and the cups; for the golden bowls and the weight of each; for the silver bowls and the weight of each;

The Temple Furnishings

¹³ And King Solomon sent and brought ^(A)Hiram from Tyre. ¹⁴ He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. And ^(B)he was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill for making any work in bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all his work.

²⁰ And ^(A)on that day there shall be inscribed on the bells of the horses, ^(B)“Holy to the Lord.” And the pots in the house of the Lord shall be as the bowls before the altar. ²¹ And every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be ^(C)holy to the Lord of hosts, so that all who sacrifice may come and take of them and boil the meat of the sacrifice in them. And ^(D)there shall no longer be ^(E)a trader^[a] in the house of the Lord of hosts ^(F)on that day.

⁴⁵ Now ^(A)the pots, the shovels, and the basins, all these vessels in the house of the Lord, which Hiram made for King Solomon, were of burnished bronze.

¹³ The custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered sacrifice, the priest's servant would come, while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand, ¹⁴ and he would thrust it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or pot. All that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. This is what they did at Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

³ And he made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its utensils of bronze.

³ You shall make pots for it to receive its ashes, and shovels and basins and ^(A)forks and fire pans. You shall make all its utensils of bronze.
