2그는 또 둥근 모양의 큰 물탱크 하나를 만들었다. 그것은 직경이 4.5미터, 높이가 약 2.3미터, 둘레는 13.5미터였으며
3그 가장자리 아래에는 돌아가면서 4.5센티미터 간격으로 두 줄의 놋조롱박이 하나씩 달려 있었는데 이것은 물탱크와 하나로 주조된 것이었다.
4그 물탱크는 서로 엉덩이를 맞대고 있는 열두 마리의 놋소 위에 얹혀 있었으며 그 놋소들은 동서남북으로 각각 세 마리씩 바깥쪽으로 향하였다.
5그리고 이 물탱크의 두께는 손바닥 넓이만하였고 그 가장자리는 백합화처럼 밖으로 휘어진 잔 모양같이 만들었으며 그 용량은 4:5 원문에는 ‘3,000밧’ 66킬로리터로되어있다.44킬로리터였다.
6또 솔로몬은 제물을 씻을 물통 10개를 만들어 다섯은 성전 오른편에, 다섯은 성전 왼편에 두었다. 제사장들이 몸을 씻을 때는 이 물통을 사용하지 않고 물탱크를 사용하였다.
7또 솔로몬은 하나님이 지시한 대로 금등대 열 개를 만들어 성전 안에 좌우로 다섯 개씩 놓았으며
8상도 열 개를 만들어 성전 안의 좌우에 다섯 개씩 놓았고 또 금대접 100개도 만들었다.
