1 Also, he made a brass altar of twenty cubits in length, and of twenty cubits in width, and of ten cubits in height,	1 He made a bronze altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.
2 as well as a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in its circumference. It had five cubits in height, and a line of thirty cubits went around it on all sides.	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 Also, under it there was the likeness of oxen. And certain engravings encircled the cavity of the sea, along ten cubits of the outside, as if in two rows. Now the oxen were molten.	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.
4 And the sea itself was placed upon the twelve oxen, three of which were looking toward the north, and another three toward the west, then another three toward the south, and the three that remained toward the east, having the sea imposed upon them. But the posteriors of the oxen were toward the interior, under the sea.	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.
5 Now its thickness had the measure of the palm of a hand, and its brim was like the lip of a cup, or like the outturned petal of a lily. And it held three thousand measures.	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.
6 Also, he made ten basins. And he placed five on the right, and five on the left, so that they might wash in them all the things that they were to offer as holocausts. But the priests were to be washed in 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.
7 Then he also made ten gold lampstands, according to the form by which they had been ordered to be made. And he set them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.	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.
8 Moreover, there were also ten tables. And he placed them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. Also, there were one hundred gold bowls.	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.
9 Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.	9 He made the court of the priests and the great court with its gates and plated the gates with bronze.
10 Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.	10 The Sea he placed on the right-hand side of the Temple, to the south-east.
11 Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king in the house of God,	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:
12 that is, the two pillars, and the crossbeams, and the heads, and something like a little net, which would cover the heads above the crossbeams,	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;
13 and also four hundred pomegranates, and two little nets, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each net, which would cover the crossbeams and the heads of the pillars.	13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of filigree -- two rows of pomegranates for each set offiligree;
14 He also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;	14 the ten stands and the ten basins on the stands;
15 one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;	15 the one Sea and the twelve oxen beneath it;
16 and cooking pots and hooks and bowls. Hiram, his father, made all the vessels for Solomon, in the house of the Lord, from the purest brass.	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.
17 The king cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zeredah.	17 The King made them by the process of sand casting, in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth andZeredah.
18 Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.	18 There was such an enormous quantity of them that the weight of the bronze could not be calculated.
19 And Solomon made all the vessels for the house of God, and the gold altar, and the tables upon which were the bread of the presence;	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;
20 and also, of the purest gold, the lampstands with their lamps, to shine before the oracle, according to the rite;	20 the lamp-stands with their lamps to burn, as prescribed, in front of the Debir, of pure gold;
21 and certain flowers, and lamps, and gold tongs. All these were made from the purest gold.	21 the floral work, the lamps, the tongs, of gold (and it was pure gold);
22 Also, the vessels for the perfumes, and the censers, and the bowls, and the little mortars were from the purest gold. And he engraved the doors of the inner temple, that is, for the Holy of Holies. And the doors of the outer temple were of gold. And so, every work was completed that Solomon made in the house of the Lord.	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.
