1 Salomão mandou fazer um altar de bronze, de nove metros de comprimento por nove de largura e quatro e meio de altura. 2 Também mandou fazer um tanque redondo de bronze, com dois metros e vinte e cinco de profundidade, quatro metros e meio de diâmetro e treze metros e meio de circunferência. 3 Ao redor da borda de fora do tanque, que media treze metros e meio, havia duas carreiras de figuras de touros de bronze, que tinham sido fundidas todas em uma só peça junto com o tanque. 4 O tanque se apoiava sobre as costas de doze touros de bronze que olhavam para fora: três olhavam para o norte; três, para o oeste; três, para o sul; e três, para o leste. 5 A grossura das paredes do tanque era de quatro dedos. A sua borda era como a borda de um copo, curvando-se para fora como as pétalas de um lírio. A capacidade do tanque era de mais ou menos sessenta mil litros.

6 Fizeram também dez bacias, nas quais era lavado tudo o que se usava para os sacrifícios dos animais. Cinco bacias foram colocadas no lado sul do Templo e cinco, no lado norte. A água do tanque era para os sacerdotes se lavarem.

7 Fizeram dez candelabros de ouro, como havia sido ordenado. Eles foram colocados no Templo: cinco, no lado sul e cinco, no lado norte. 8 Fizeram também dez mesas, que foram postas no Templo: cinco, no lado sul e cinco, no lado norte. Fizeram também cem vasilhas de ouro.

9 Construíram o pátio interno, para os sacerdotes, e o pátio principal. As portas dos pátios foram revestidas de bronze. 10 O tanque foi colocado no canto sudeste do Templo.

11-16 Hurã fez também caldeirões, pás e bacias e assim terminou todo o trabalho encomendado pelo rei Salomão para o Templo de Deus. Esta é a lista do que ele fez:

duas colunas;

dois remates em forma de taças, que ficavam no alto das colunas;

desenhos de correntes entrelaçadas de cada remate;

quatrocentas romãs de bronze, em duas carreiras ao redor do desenho de cada remate;

dez carretas;

dez bacias;

um tanque;

doze touros que sustentavam o tanque;

panelas, pás e garfos.

Como Salomão havia ordenado, Hurã, o mestre artesão, fez de bronze polido todas as panelas, pás e garfos para o Templo de Deus, o Senhor. 17 O rei mandou que tudo fosse feito na fundição que ficava entre Sucote e Zereda, no vale do rio Jordão. 18 Esses objetos de bronze que Salomão mandou fazer eram tantos, que o seu peso nunca foi calculado.

19 Salomão também mandou fazer para o Templo os seguintes objetos de ouro: o altar; as mesas para os pães oferecidos a Deus; 20 os candelabros e as lamparinas de ouro puro, que ficavam acesas em frente ao Lugar Santíssimo, conforme havia sido ordenado; 21 as flores, as lamparinas e as tenazes; 22 as tesouras de cortar pavios de lamparinas, as vasilhas, os pratos para o incenso e os braseiros. Todos esses objetos foram feitos de ouro puro. As portas de entrada para o Lugar Santo e as portas do Lugar Santíssimo também eram de ouro.

1 And he made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits, the length thereof, and, twenty cubits, the breadth thereof,and, ten cubits, the height thereof.

2 And he made a molten sea,tenby the cubit, from the one brim thereof into the other brim thereof, it was round all about, and, fiveby the cubit, was the height thereof, and, a lineof thirty by the cubit, did compass it round about.

3 And, the likeness of oxen, was under it round about on every side, encircling it, ten in a cubit, going round the sea, on every side,-two rows of oxen, made in the casting.

4 It was standing on twelve oxen, three, looking toward the north, and, three, looking toward the west, and, three, looking toward the south, and, three, looking toward the east, the sea, being upon them above,and, all their hinder parts, inward.

5 And, the thickness thereof, was a hand-breadth, and, the brim thereof, was like the brim-work of a cup, with blossoms of lilies,it could hold baths, three thousand, would it contain.

6 And he made ten lavers, and set five on the right handand five on the left, to bathe therein, what is offered as an ascending-sacrifice, do they rinse therein,but, the sea, was, that the priests should bathe therein.

7 And he made ten lampstands of gold according to the regulation thereof,and set in the temple, five, on the right hand, and, five, on the left.

8 And he made ten tables, and placed in the temple, five, on the right hand, and, five, on the left,and he made a hundred tossing bowls of gold.

9 And he made the court of the priests, and the large enclosure,and doors to the enclosure, and, the doors thereof, overlaid he with bronze.

10 And, the sea, he set on the right side of the house, eastward over against the south.

11 And Huram madethe pans, and the shovels, and the tossing bowls,and Huram finished doing the work, which he did for King Solomon, in the house of God:

12 two pillars, and the bowls and the capitals on the top of the two pillars, and the two frames of checker work, to cover the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the top of the pillars;

13 and four hundred pomegranates, for the two frames,-two rows of pomegranates, for each frame, for covering the two bowls of the capitals, which were on the face of the pillars;

14 and, the stands, made he,and, the lavers, made he upon the stands;

15 the one sea,and the twelve oxen under it;

16 and, the pans and the shovels and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels, made Huram his father for King Solomon, for the house of Yahweh,of burnished bronze,

17 In the circuit of the Jordan, did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.

18 So Solomon made all these utensils, in great abundance,for the weight of the bronze could not be searched out.

19 Yea Solomon made all the utensils which were for the house of God,and the altar of gold, and the rubles, whereon was the Presence-bread;

20 and the lamp-holders and their lamps, that they should burn according to the regulation before the shrine, of purified gold;

21 and the blossom-work, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold,the same, was the purest gold;

22 and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the censers, of purified gold,and the entrance of the house, the inner doors thereof for the holy of holies, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
