1 Salomão também mandou fazer um altar de bronze de nove metros de comprimento, nove metros de largura e quatro metros e meio de altura.
2 Fez o tanque de metal fundido, redondo, medindo quatro metros e meio de diâmetro e dois metros e vinte e cinco centímetros de altura. Era preciso um fio de treze metros e meio para medir a sua circunferência.
3 Abaixo da borda e ao seu redor havia figuras de touro, de cinco em cinco centímetros. Os touros foram fundidos em duas fileiras numa só peça com o tanque.
4 O tanque ficava sobre doze touros, três voltados para o norte, três para o oeste, três para o sul e três para o leste. Ficava em cima deles, e as pernas traseiras dos touros eram voltadas para o centro.
5 A espessura do tanque era de quatro dedos, e sua borda era como a borda de um cálice, como uma flor de lírio. Tinha capacidade de sessenta e seis mil litros.
6 Fez dez pias, colocando cinco no lado sul e cinco no lado norte. Nelas tudo o que era usado nos holocaustos era lavado, enquanto que o tanque servia para os sacerdotes se lavarem.
7 Fez dez candelabros de ouro, de acordo com as especificações, e colocou-os no templo, cinco no lado sul e cinco no lado norte.
8 Fez dez mesas e colocou-as no templo, cinco no lado sul e cinco no lado norte. Também fez cem bacias de ouro para aspersão.
9 E fez o pátio dos sacerdotes e o pátio principal com suas portas, e revestiu de bronze as suas portas.
10 Pôs o tanque no lado sul, no canto sudeste do templo.
11 Também fez os jarros, as pás e as bacias para aspersão. Assim, Hirão terminou o trabalho de que fora encarregado pelo rei Salomão, no templo de Deus:
12 as duas colunas; os dois capitéis em forma de taça no alto das colunas; os dois conjuntos de correntes que decoravam os dois capitéis;
13 as quatrocentas romãs para os dois conjuntos de correntes, sendo duas fileiras de romãs para cada conjunto;
14 os dez carrinhos com as suas dez pias;
15 o tanque e os doze touros debaixo dele;
16 e os jarros, as pás, os garfos de carne e todos os utensílios afins. Todos esses utensílios que Hirão-Abi fez a pedido do rei Salomão, para o templo do Senhor, eram de bronze polido.
17 Foi na planície do Jordão, entre Sucote e Zeredá, que o rei os mandou fundir, em moldes de barro.
18 Salomão os fez em tão grande quantidade, a ponto de não se poder determinar o peso do bronze utilizado.
19 Além desses, Salomão mandou fazer também todos estes outros utensílios para o templo de Deus: o altar de ouro; as mesas sobre as quais ficavam os pães da Presença;
20 os candelabros de ouro puro com suas lâmpadas, para iluminarem diante do santuário interno, conforme determinado;
21 as flores, as lâmpadas e as tenazes de ouro maciço;
22 os cortadores de pavio, as bacias para aspersão, as tigelas, os incensários de ouro puro e as portas de ouro do templo: tanto as portas da sala interna, o Lugar Santíssimo, quanto as portas do átrio principal.
1 Moreover he made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.
2 Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in shape, and five cubits its height; and a line of thirty cubits did measure its circumference.
3 And under it was the likeness of oxen, which did circle it round about: ten to a cubit, circling the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast.
4 It stood upon 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: and the sea was set upon them, and all their hind parts were inward.
5 And the thickness of it was a handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; and it received and held three thousand baths.
6 He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
7 And he made ten lampstands of gold according to their design, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold.
9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid the doors of them with bronze.
10 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, toward the south.
11 And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
12 The two pillars, and the bowls, and the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;
13 And four hundred pomegranates on the two networks; two rows of pomegranates on each net, to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were upon the pillars.
14 He made also stands, and lavers made he upon the stands;
15 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.
16 The pots also, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their articles, did Huram his father make for king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright bronze.
17 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredath.
18 Thus Solomon made all these articles in great abundance: for the weight of the bronze could not be measured.
19 And Solomon made all the articles that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables on which the showbread was set;
20 Moreover the lampstands with their lamps, that they should burn in the prescribed manner before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;
21 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, the purest gold;
22 And the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entrance of the house, the inner doors for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.
