2 Chronicles 4:1-22

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

2¶ Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.4.2 from…: Heb. from his brim to his brim 3And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast, when it was cast. 4It 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 above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward. 5And the thickness of it was an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, with flowers of lilies; and it received and held three thousand baths.4.5 with flowers…: or, like a lilyflower

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.4.6 such…: Heb. the work of burnt offering 7And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left. 8He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold.4.8 basons: or, bowls

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 brass. 10And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.

11And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;4.11 basons: or, bowls4.11 finished: Heb. finished to make 12To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were on the top of the pillars; 13And four hundred pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which were upon the pillars.4.13 upon: Heb. upon the face of 14He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;4.14 lavers: or, caldrons 15One sea, and twelve oxen under it. 16The pots also, and the shovels, and the fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.4.16 bright: Heb. made bright, or, scoured 17In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.4.17 clay…: Heb. thicknesses of the ground 18Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.

19¶ And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set; 20Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold; 21And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold;4.21 perfect…: Heb. perfections of gold 22And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.4.22 basons: or, bowls

歷代志下 4:1-22

聖殿的器具

1所羅門造了一座銅壇,長九米,寬九米,高四點五米。 2他又鑄了一個圓形銅海,高二點二五米,直徑四點五米,周長十三點五米。 3銅海邊緣下方有兩圈牛的圖案,每五十釐米有十頭牛,是鑄銅海的時候鑄上的。 4有十二頭銅牛馱著銅海,三頭向北,三頭向西,三頭向南,三頭向東,牛尾向內。 5銅海厚八釐米,邊如杯邊,又如百合花,容量為六萬六千升。 6他又造了十個盆,五個放右邊,五個放左邊,用來清洗獻燔祭所用之物。但銅海只供祭司沐浴使用。

7他照著所定的式樣,造了十個金燈臺放在殿裡,五個在右邊,五個在左邊; 8又造了十張桌子放在殿裡,五個在右邊,五個在左邊;還造了一百個金碗。 9他又建了祭司院、大院及大院的門,門都包上銅。 10銅海放在殿的右邊,就是東南方。

11戶蘭又造了盆、鏟和碗。他為所羅門王完成了上帝殿裡的工作。 12戶蘭所製造的有:兩根柱子,兩個碗狀的柱冠,兩個裝飾柱冠的網子, 13用來裝飾碗狀柱冠、安在兩個網子上的四百石榴——每個網子上兩行; 14盆座及盆座上的盆; 15銅海和銅海下面的十二頭銅牛; 16盆、鏟、肉叉及耶和華殿裡的一切器具。這些都是巧匠戶蘭用磨亮的銅為所羅門王製造的。 17這些都是照王的命令,在疏割撒利但之間的約旦平原用泥模鑄成的。 18所羅門製造的器具極多,銅的重量無法統計。

19所羅門又造了上帝殿裡的金壇和放置供餅的桌子, 20按規定放在內殿前的純金的燈臺和燈盞, 21以及純金的花飾、燈盞、火鉗、 22蠟剪、碗、碟和火鼎。殿門和至聖所的門也是金的。
