Mobiliario del templo
4 Salomón[a] también hizo un altar de bronce de nueve metros de largo por nueve metros de ancho y cuatro metros y medio de alto.[b] 2 Luego fundió un enorme tazón redondo, que medía cuatro metros con sesenta centímetros de borde a borde, llamado el Mar. Tenía dos metros con treinta centímetros de profundidad y trece metros con ochenta centímetros de circunferencia.[c] 3 Por debajo del borde, estaba rodeado por dos hileras de figuras que se parecían a bueyes. Había veinte bueyes por metro[d] de la circunferencia que se habían fundido como parte del tazón.
4 El Mar estaba colocado sobre una base formada por doce bueyes de bronce que miraban hacia afuera. Tres miraban hacia el norte, tres hacia el occidente, tres hacia el sur y tres hacia el oriente; y el Mar estaba asentado sobre ellos. 5 El grosor del Mar era de unos ocho centímetros,[e] su borde era acampanado como una copa y se parecía a una flor de nenúfar. Tenía capacidad para unos sesenta y tres mil litros[f] de agua.
6 También hizo diez tazones más pequeños para lavar los utensilios que se usaban para las ofrendas quemadas. Colocó cinco en el lado sur y cinco en el lado norte; pero los sacerdotes se lavaban en el Mar.
7 Luego fundió diez candelabros de oro según las especificaciones que se habían entregado y los colocó en el templo. Puso cinco contra la pared sur y cinco contra la pared norte.
8 También hizo diez mesas y las colocó en el templo, cinco a lo largo de la pared sur y cinco a lo largo de la pared norte. Luego moldeó cien tazones de oro.
9 Después edificó un atrio para los sacerdotes, y también el gran atrio exterior. Hizo puertas para las entradas de los atrios y las revistió de bronce. 10 El gran tazón de bronce llamado el Mar fue ubicado cerca de la esquina suroriental del templo.
11 Huram-abí también hizo los lavamanos, las palas y los tazones que se necesitaban.
Finalmente Huram-abí terminó todo el trabajo que el rey Salomón le había asignado que hiciera para el templo de Dios:
12 las dos columnas;
los dos capiteles con forma de tazón en la parte superior de las columnas;
las dos redes de cadenas entrelazadas que decoraban los capiteles;
13 las cuatrocientas granadas que colgaban de las cadenas sobre los capiteles (dos filas de granadas por cada red de cadenas que decoraban los capiteles sobre las columnas);
14 las carretas para llevar agua que sostenían los tazones;
15 el Mar y los doce bueyes que lo sostenían;
16 los recipientes para la ceniza, las palas, los ganchos para la carne y todos los demás utensilios.
Huram-abí hizo todos estos objetos de bronce bruñido para el templo del Señor, tal como le había indicado el rey Salomón. 17 El rey mandó que se fundieran en moldes de barro en el valle del Jordán, entre Sucot y Saretán.[g] 18 Salomón utilizó tanto bronce que no se pudo determinar el peso.
19 Salomón también hizo todo el mobiliario para el templo de Dios:
el altar de oro;
las mesas para el pan de la Presencia;
20 los candelabros y sus lámparas de oro macizo, para que ardieran frente al Lugar Santísimo, como está establecido;
21 las decoraciones de flores, las lámparas y las tenazas, todo del oro más puro;
22 las despabiladeras para las lámparas, los tazones, los cucharones y los recipientes para quemar incienso, todo de oro macizo;
las puertas para las entradas al Lugar Santísimo y al salón principal del templo, revestidas de oro.

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.

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.
