metal sea
, ten
cubits
from brim

, circular
in form
, and its height

Now figures like

It was a handbreadth thick
, and its brim

like the brim
of a cup
, like a lily
blossom
; it acould hold
3,000
baths
.
aHe also made ten
basins
in which
to wash
, and he set
five
on the right
side
and five
on the left
1to rinse
things
for the burnt
offering
; but the sea
was for the priests
to wash
in.
Then ahe made the ten
golden
lampstands
in the way
prescribed
for them and he set
them in the temple
, five
on the right
side
and five
on the left
.
He also made aten
tables
and placed
them in the temple
, five
on the right

. And he made
one hundred
golden
bowls
.
Then he made athe court
of the priests
and bthe great
court
and doors
for the court
, and overlaid
their doors
with bronze
.
aHe set the sea
on the right
1side
of the house toward the southeast
.
aHuram also made

, the shovels
and the bowls
. So Huram
finished
doing
the work
which he performed
for King
Solomon
in the house
of God
:
the two pillars
, the bowls
and the two capitals
on top
of the pillars
, and the two
networks
to cover
the two
bowls
of the capitals
which
were on top
of the pillars
,
and athe four hundred
pomegranates
for the two
networks
, two
rows
of pomegranates
for each
network
to cover
the two
bowls
of the capitals
which
were on the pillars
.
aHe also made the stands
and he made
the basins
on the stands
,
and the one sea

The pails, the shovels
, the forks
and all
its utensils
, aHuram-abi
made
of polished
bronze
for King
Solomon
for the house
of the LORD
.
On the plain of the Jordan
the king
cast
them in the clay
ground
between
Succoth
and Zeredah
.
aThus Solomon made
all
these
utensils
in great
quantities
, for the weight
of the bronze
could not be found
out.
Solomon also made
all
the things
that were in the house
of God
: even the golden

, athe tables
with the bread
of the Presence
on them,
the lampstands with their lamps
of pure

and the snuffers, the bowls
, the spoons
and the firepans
of pure

of the house
, its inner
doors
for the holy
of holies
