1 Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.2 And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.3 And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.4 It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.5 It was as thick as a man's open hand, and the edge of it was curved like the edge of a cup, like a lily flower; it would take three thousand baths.6 And he made ten washing-vessels, putting five on the right side and five on the left; such things as were used in making the burned offering were washed in them; but the great water-vessel was to be used by the priests for washing themselves.7 And he made the ten gold supports for the lights, as directions had been given for them, and he put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left.8 He made ten tables, and put them in the Temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made a hundred gold basins.9 Then he made the open space for the priests, and the great open space and its doors, plating the doors with brass.10 He put the great water-vessel on the right side of the house to the east, facing south.11 And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:12 The two pillars, and the two crowns on the tops of the pillars, and the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the tops of the pillars;13 And the four hundred apples for the network, two lines of apples for the network covering the two cups of the crowns on the pillars.14 And he made the ten bases and the ten washing-vessels which were on the bases;15 The great water-vessel with the twelve oxen under it.16 All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.17 The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.18 So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.19 And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,20 And the supports for the lights with their lights, to be burning in the regular way in front of the inmost room, of the best gold;21 The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.22 The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.

1 Fecit quoque altare neum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, et viginti cubitorum latitudinis, et decem cubitorum altitudinis. 2 Mare etiam fusile decem cubitis a labio usque ad labium, rotundum per circuitum : quinque cubitos habebat altitudinis, et funiculus triginta cubitorum ambiebat gyrum ejus. 3 Similitudo quoque boum erat subter illud, et decem cubitis qudam extrinsecus clatur, quasi duobus versibus alvum maris circuibant. Boves autem erant fusiles : 4 et ipsum mare super duodecim boves impositum erat, quorum tres respiciebant ad aquilonem, et alii tres ad occidentem : porro tres alii meridiem, et tres qui reliqui erant, oritentem, habentes mare superpositum : posteriora autem boum erant intrinsecus sub mari. 5 Porro vastitas ejus habebat mensuram palmi, et labium illius erat quasi labium calicis, vel repandi lilii : capiebatque tria millia metretas. 6 Fecit quoque conchas decem : et posuit quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris, ut lavarent in eis omnia qu in holocaustum oblaturi erant : porro in mari sacerdotes lavabantur. 7 Fecit autem et candelabra aurea decem secundum speciem qua jussa erant fieri : et posuit ea in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris. 8 Necnon et mensas decem : et posuit eas in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris : phialas quoque aureas centum. 9 Fecit etiam atrium sacerdotum, et basilicam grandem : et ostia in basilica, qu texit re. 10 Porro mare posuit in latere dextro contra orientem ad meridiem. 11 Fecit autem Hiram lebetes, et creagras, et phialas : et complevit omne opus regis in domo Dei : 12 hoc est, columnas duas, et epistylia, et capita, et quasi qudam retiacula, qu capita tegerent super epistylia. 13 Malogranata quoque quadringenta, et retiacula duo ita ut bini ordines malogranatorum singulis retiaculis jungerentur, qu protegerent epistylia, et capita columnarum. 14 Bases etiam fecit, et conchas, quas superposuit basibus : 15 mare unum, boves quoque duodecim sub mari, 16 et lebetes, et creagras, et phialas. Omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram pater ejus in domo Domini ex re mundissimo. 17 In regione Jordanis, fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Sochot et Saredatha. 18 Erat autem multitudo vasorum innumerabilis, ita ut ignoraretur pondus ris. 19 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa domus Dei, et altare aureum, et mensas, et super eas panes propositionis : 20 candelabra quoque cum lucernis suis ut lucerent ante oraculum juxta ritum ex auro purissimo : 21 et florentia qudam, et lucernas, et forcipes aureos : omnia de auro mundissimo facta sunt. 22 Thymiateria quoque, et thuribula, et phialas, et mortariola ex auro purissimo. Et ostia clavit templi interioris, id est, in Sancta sanctorum : et ostia templi forinsecus aurea. Sicque completum est omne opus quod fecit Salomon in domo Domini.
