2 Cronache 4
La Nuova Diodati
4 Poi fece un altare di bronzo lungo venti cubiti, largo venti cubiti e alto dieci cubiti.
2 Fece pure il mare di metallo fuso, di forma circolare, che da un orlo all'altro misurava dieci cubiti; la sua altezza di cinque cubiti e la sua circonferenza di trenta cubiti.
3 Sotto l'orlo vi erano figure simili a buoi, dieci per cubito, che circondavano il mare tutt'intorno. I buoi, disposti su due file, erano stati fusi insieme con il mare.
4 Questo poggiava su dodici buoi, di cui tre guardavano a nord, tre a ovest, tre a sud e tre a est. Il mare era posto su di essi, e le loro parti posteriori erano rivolte verso l'interno.
5 Esso aveva lo spessore di un palmo; il suo orlo era fatto come l'orlo di un calice, come il fiore di un giglio, il mare poteva contenere tremila bati.
6 Fece dieci conche per le purificazioni e ne collocò cinque a destra e cinque a sinistra; in esse si lavavano le cose che servivano all'olocausto; nel mare invece si lavavano i sacerdoti.
7 Fece dieci candelabri d'oro, secondo le norme prescritte, e li pose nel tempio, cinque a destra e cinque a sinistra.
8 Fece dieci tavole e le collocò nel tempio, cinque a destra e cinque a sinistra. Fece anche cento coppe d'oro.
9 Fece il cortile dei sacerdoti e il grande cortile con le porte del cortile che rivestí di bronzo.
10 Collocò quindi il mare dal lato destro, verso sud-est.
11 Hiram fece pure i vasi, le palette e le bacinelle. Cosí Hiram portò a termine il lavoro che doveva fare per il re Salomone nella casa di DIO:
12 le due colonne, i due capitelli a vaso in cima alle colonne, i due reticoli per coprire i due capitelli a vaso in cima alle colonne,
13 le quattrocento melagrane per i due reticoli (due file di melagrane per ogni reticolo per coprire i due capitelli a vaso in cima alle colonne).
14 Fece anche i carrelli e le conche sui carrelli,
15 il mare, uno solo, e i dodici buoi sotto il mare,
16 e i vasi, le palette, i forchettoni e tutti i loro oggetti che il maestro Hiram fece di bronzo lucente per il re Salomone, per la casa dell'Eterno.
17 Il re li fece fondere nella pianura del Giordano, in un suolo argilloso, fra Sukkoth e Tseredah.
18 Salomone fece tutti questi utensili in cosí gran quantità, che il peso del bronzo non fu accertato.
19 Cosí Salomone fece fabbricare tutti gli arredi per la casa di DIO: l'altare d'oro e le tavole su cui si ponevano i pani della presentazione.
20 I candelabri con le loro lampade d'oro puro che dovevano ardere secondo la norma stabilita davanti al santuario;
21 i fiori, le lampade e gli smoccolatoi d'oro: erano d'oro purissimo;
22 i coltelli, le bacinelle, le coppe e i bracieri d'oro fino. Quanto all'ingresso del tempio, le porte interne che immettevano nel luogo santissimo e le porte che immettevano alla navata del tempio erano d'oro.
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.

2 Chronicles 4
King James Version
4 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
3 And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
4 It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.
5 And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.
6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and 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. And he made an hundred basons of gold.
9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with brass.
10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.
11 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars;
13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars.
14 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;
15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the Lord of bright brass.
17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.
19 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;
20 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;
21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold;
22 And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
