2 Chronicles 4

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 He made also an altar of brass twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits broad, and ten cubits high.	1 Then he made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.
	2 He also made the molten sea. It was perfectly round, ten cubits in diameter, five in depth, and thirty in circumference;
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.	3 below the rim a ring of figures of oxen encircled the sea, ten to the cubit, all the way around; there were two rows of these cast in the same mold with 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.	4 It rested on twelve oxen, three facing north, three west, three south, and three east, with their haunches all toward the center; the sea rested on their backs.
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.	5 It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like that of a cup, being lily-shaped. It had a capacity of three thousand measures.
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.	6 Then he made ten basins for washing, placing five of them to the right and five to the left. Here were cleansed the victims for the holocausts; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
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.	7 He made the lampstands of gold, ten of them as was prescribed, and placed them in the nave, five to the right and five to the left.
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.	8 He made ten tables and had them set in the nave, five to the right and five to the left; and he made a hundred golden bowls.
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.	9 He made the court of the priests and the great courtyard and the gates of the courtyard; the gates he overlaid with bronze.
10 He made also the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.	10 The sea was placed off to the southeast from the right side of the temple.
11 And he set the sea on the right side over against the east toward the south.	11 Huram also made the pots, the shovels and the bowls. Huram thus completed the work he had to do for King Solomon in the house of God:
12 And Hiram made caldrons, and fleshhooks, and bowls: and finished all the king's work in the house of God:	12 two columns, two nodes for the capitals topping these two columns, and two networks covering the nodes of the capitals topping the columns;
13 That is to say, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters, and the network, to cover the chapiters over the pommels.	13 also four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, with two rows of pomegranates to each network, to cover the two nodes of the capitals topping the columns.
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.	14 He made the stands, and the basins on the stands;
15 He made also bases, and lavers, which he set upon the bases:	15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it;
16 One sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;	16 likewise the pots, the shovels and the forks. Huram-abi made all these articles for King Solomon from polished bronze for the house of the LORD.
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.	17 The king had them cast in the Jordan region, in the clayey ground between Succoth and Zeredah.
18 In the country near the Jordan did the king cast them, in a clay ground between Sochot and Saredatha.	18 Solomon made all these vessels, so many in number that the weight of the bronze was not ascertained.
19 And the multitude of vessels was innumerable, so that the weight of the brass was not known.	19 Solomon had all these articles made for the house of God: the golden altar, the tables on which the showbread lay,
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,	20 the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold which were to burn according to prescription before the sanctuary,
21 The candlesticks also of most pure gold with their lamps to give light before the oracle, according to the manner.	21 flowers, lamps and gold tongs (this was the purest gold),
22 And certain flowers, and lamps, and golden tongs: all were made of the finest gold.	22 snuffers, bowls, cups and firepans of pure gold. As for the entry to the house, its inner doors to the holy of holies, as well as the doors to the nave, were of gold.
