DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 He made also an altar of brass twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits broad, and ten cubits high.	1 Also, he made a brass altar of twenty cubits in length, and of twenty cubits in width, and of ten cubits in height,
	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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.
10 He made also the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.	10 Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.
11 And he set the sea on the right side over against the east toward the south.	11 Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king 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 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,
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 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.
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 also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;
15 He made also bases, and lavers, which he set upon the bases:	15 one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;
16 One sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;	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.
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 cast these in the region near the Jordan, in the clay soil 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 Now the multitude of the vessels was innumerable, so much so that the weight of the brass was unknown.
19 And the multitude of vessels was innumerable, so that the weight of the brass was not known.	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;
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 and also, of the purest gold, the lampstands with their lamps, to shine before the oracle, according to the rite;
21 The candlesticks also of most pure gold with their lamps to give light before the oracle, according to the manner.	21 and certain flowers, and lamps, and gold tongs. All these were made from the purest gold.
22 And certain flowers, and lamps, and golden tongs: all were made of the finest 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.
