1 Construiu também um altar de bronze de vinte côvados de comprimento, vinte de largura e dez de altura.
2 Fabricou o mar de metal fundido, o qual tinha uma largura de dez côvados de uma borda a outra. Era redondo e sua altura era de cinco côvados: sua circunferência era medida por um cordão de trinta côvados.
3 Figuras de bois circundavam-no todo, ao redor, debaixo do rebordo, dez por cada côvado, em duas fileiras, fundidas numa só peça com ele.
4 Repousava sobre doze bois, dos quais três olhavam para o norte, três para o oeste, três para o sul, três, para o oriente. O mar descansava sobre suas partes traseiras que estavam voltadas para dentro.
5 Sua espessura era de um palmo; a sua borda, como a de um copo, tinha a forma de uma flor de loto. Sua capacidade era de três mil batos.
6 Salomão fez também dez bacias, das quais cinco foram colocadas à direita e cinco à esquerda, para nelas fazer as abluções. Nelas era lavado tudo que se utilizava para os holocaustos; ao passo que o mar servia para as abluções dos sacerdotes.
7 Fez dez candelabros de ouro, de acordo com o modelo prescrito, e colocou-os no templo, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda.
8 Fez dez mesas e colocou-as no templo, cinco à direita e cinco à esquerda; e cem vasos de ouro.
9 Fez o átrio dos sacerdotes, e o grande pátio com portas recobertas de bronze.
10 Colocou o mar voltado para a direita, a sudeste.
11 Hirão fabricou as caldeiras, as pás e as bacias, terminando dessa maneira todos os trabalhos que tinha de fazer para o rei Salomão no templo de Deus,
12 a saber: duas colunas com os capitéis e as arquitraves que lhes estavam sobrepostas, duas redes que cobriam os capitéis com as arquitraves que estavam sobrepostas às colunas,
13 quatrocentas romãs das quais duas fileiras ornavam as grades que cobriam os capitéis com as arquitraves que estavam sobre as colunas.
14 Fez os pedestais e as bacias que eles suportam,
15 o mar e os doze bois que o sustentam,
16 as caldeiras, as pás e os garfos. Todos os acessórios que Hurão-Abi fez para o templo do Senhor eram de bronze polido.
17 O rei mandou-os fundir na planície do Jordão, numa terra argilosa entre Socot e Sareda.
18 Todos os objetos foram fabricados em tal quantidade que não se podia avaliar o peso do bronze.
19 Eis os objetos que Salomão mandou fossem ainda feitos para o templo: altar de ouro, as mesas nas quais se colocavam os pães da proposição,
20 os candelabros com suas lâmpadas de ouro prescritas pela lei para o santuário, as flores,
21 as lâmpadas e as tenazes feitas de ouro fino,
22 as facas, os vasos, as colheres e os cinzeiros de ouro fino, a porta de ouro da sala, as portas internas do Santo dos Santos e as portas de entrada do templo que eram de ouro.
1 And he maketh an altar of brass, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.
2 And he maketh the molten sea; ten by the cubit, from its edge unto its edge, round in compass, and five by the cubit its height, and a line of thirty by the cubit doth compass it, round about.
3 And the likeness of oxen [is] under it, all round about encompassing it, ten in the cubit, compassing the sea round about; two rows of oxen are cast in its being cast.
4 It is standing on twelve oxen, three facing the north, and three facing the west, and three facing the south, and three facing the east, and the sea [is] upon them above, and all their hinder parts [are] within.
5 And its thickness [is] a handbreadth, and its lip as the work of the lip of a cup flowered with lilies; taking hold -- baths three thousand it containeth.
6 And he maketh ten lavers, and putteth five on the right, and five on the left, to wash with them; the work of the burnt-offering they purge with them; and the sea [is] for priests to wash with.
7 And he maketh the ten candlesticks of gold, according to their ordinance, and placeth in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.
8 And he maketh ten tables, and placeth in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left; and he maketh bowls of gold a hundred.
9 And he maketh the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and their doors he hath overlaid with brass.
10 And the sea he hath placed on the right shoulder eastward, over-against the south.
11 And Huram maketh the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls, and Huram finisheth to make the work that he made for king Solomon in the house of God;
12 two pillars, and the bowls, and the crowns on the heads of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [are] on the heads of the pillars;
13 and the pomegranates four hundred to the two wreaths, two rows of pomegranates to the one wreath, to cover the two bowls of the crowns that [are] on the front of the pillars.
14 And the bases he hath made; and the lavers he hath made on the bases;
15 the one sea, and the twelve oxen under it,
16 and the pots, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their vessels, hath Huram his father made for king Solomon, for the house of Jehovah, of brass purified.
17 In the circuit of the Jordan hath the king cast them, in the thick soil of the ground, between Succoth and Zeredathah.
18 And Solomon maketh all these vessels in great abundance, that the weight of the brass hath not been searched out.
19 And Solomon maketh all the vessels that [are for] the house of God, and the altar of gold, and the tables, and on them [is] bread of the presence;
20 and the candlesticks, and their lamps, for their burning according to the ordinance, before the oracle, of gold refined;
21 and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs of gold -- it [is] the perfection of gold;
22 and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the censers, of gold refined, and the opening of the house, its innermost doors to the holy of holies, and the doors of the house to the temple, of gold.
