NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 He made a bronze altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.	1 He made also an altar of brass twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits broad, and ten cubits high.
2 He made the Sea of cast metal, ten cubits from rim to rim, circular in shape and five cubits high; a cordthirty cubits long gave the measurement of its girth.
3 Under it and completely encircling it were things like oxen, ten to the cubit round the entire Sea; theoxen were in two rows, of one and the same casting with the rest.	3 Also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass: it was five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits compassed it round about.
4 It rested on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, three facing east; onthese, their hindquarters al turned inwards, stood the Sea.	4 And under it there was the likeness of oxen, and certain engravings on the outside of ten cubits compassed the belly of the sea, as it were with two rows.
5 It was a hand's breadth in thickness, and its rim was shaped like the rim of a cup-lily-shaped. It couldhold three thousand bat.	5 And the oxen were cast: and the sea itself was set upon the twelve oxen, three of which looked toward the north, and other three toward the west: and other three toward the south, and the other three that remained toward the east, and the sea stood upon them: and the hinder parts of the oxen were inward under the sea.
6 He made ten basins, putting five on the right and five on the left, for washing in; the things to be offeredas burnt offerings were to be rinsed in these, but the Sea was for the priests to wash in.	6 Now the thickness of it was a handbreadth, and the brim of it was like the brim of a cup, or of a crisped lily: and it held three thousand measures.
7 He made the ten golden lamp-stands according to the pattern and placed them in the Hekal, five on theright and five on the left.	7 He made also ten lavers: and he see five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them all such things as they mere to offer for holocausts: but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
8 He made ten tables which he set up in the Hekal, five on the right and five on the left. He also made ahundred golden sprinkling bowls.	8 And he made ten golden candlesticks, according to the form which they were commanded to be made by: and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
9 He made the court of the priests and the great court with its gates and plated the gates with bronze.	9 Moreover also ten tables: and he set them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. Also a hundred bowls of gold.
10 The Sea he placed on the right-hand side of the Temple, to the south-east.	10 He made also the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.
11 Huram made the ash containers, the scoops and the sprinkling bowls. Thus Huram completed al thework done for King Solomon for the Temple of God:	11 And he set the sea on the right side over against the east toward the south.
12 the two pillars; the mouldings of the capitals surmounting the two pil ars; the two sets of filigree tocover the two mouldings of the capitals surmounting the pil ars;	12 And Hiram made caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls: and finished all the king's work in the house of God:
13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of filigree -- two rows of pomegranates for each set offiligree;	13 That is to say, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters, and the network, to cover the chapiters over the pommels.
14 the ten stands and the ten basins on the stands;	14 And four hundred pomegranates, and two wreaths of network, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each wreath, to cover the pommels, and the chapiters of the pillars.
15 the one Sea and the twelve oxen beneath it;	15 He made also bases, and lavers, which he set upon the bases:
16 the ash containers, scoops and forks. Al these utensils made by Huram-Abi for King Solomon for theTemple of Yahweh were of burnished bronze.	16 One sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
17 The King made them by the process of sand casting, in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth andZeredah.	17 And the caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls. All the vessels did Hiram his father make for Solomon in the house of the Lord of the finest brass.
18 There was such an enormous quantity of them that the weight of the bronze could not be calculated.	18 In the country near the Jordan did the king cast them, in a clay ground between Sochot and Saredatha.
19 Solomon made al the objects designed for the Temple of God, as wel as the golden altar and thetables for the loaves of permanent offering;	19 And the multitude of vessels was innumerable, so that the weight of the brass was not known.
20 the lamp-stands with their lamps to burn, as prescribed, in front of the Debir, of pure gold;	20 And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the golden altar, and the tables, upon which were the leaves of proposition,
21 the floral work, the lamps, the tongs, of gold (and it was pure gold);	21 The candlesticks also of most pure gold with their lamps to give light before the oracle, according to the manner.
22 the snuffers, the sprinkling bowls, incense ladles and the pans, of real gold; and the entrance to theTemple, the inner doors (for the Holy of Holies) and the doors of the Temple itself, that is of the Hekal, were alsomade of gold.	22 And certain flowers, and lamps, and golden tongs: all were made of the finest gold.
