2 Chronicles 4

New Century Version NCV

1 He made a bronze altar thirty feet long thirty feet wide, and fifteen feet tall.

2 Then he made from bronze a large round bowl, which was called the Sea. It was forty-five feet around, fifteen feet across, and seven and one-half feet deep.

3 There were carvings of bulls under the rim of the bowl -- ten bulls every eighteen inches. They were in two rows and were made in one piece with the bowl.

4 The bowl rested on the backs of twelve bronze bulls that faced outward from the center of the bowl. Three bulls faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east.

5 The sides of the bowl were four inches thick, and it held about seventeen thousand five hundred gallons. The rim of the bowl was like the rim of a cup or like a lily blossom.

6 He made ten smaller bowls and put five on the south side and five on the north. They were for washing the animals for the burnt offerings, but the large bowl was for the priests to wash in.

7 He made ten lampstands of gold, following the plans. He put them in the Temple, five on the south side and five on the north.

8 He made ten tables and put them in the Temple, five on the south side and five on the north. And he used gold to make a hundred other bowls.

9 He also made the priests' courtyard and the large courtyard. He made the doors that opened to the courtyard and covered them with bronze.

10 Then he put the large bowl in the southeast corner of the Temple.

11 Huram also made bowls, shovels, and small bowls. So he finished his work for King Solomon on the Temple of God:

12 two pillars; two large bowls for the capitals on top of the pillars; two nets to cover the two large bowls for the capitals on top of the pillars;

13 four hundred pomegranates for the two nets (there were two rows of pomegranates for each net covering the bowls for the capitals on top of the pillars);

14 the stands with a bowl on each stand;

15 the large bowl with twelve bulls under it;

16 the pots, shovels, forks, and all the things to go with them. All the things that Huram-Abi made for King Solomon for the Temple of the Lord were made of polished bronze.

17 The king had these things poured into clay molds that were made in the plain of the Jordan River between Succoth and Zarethan.

18 Solomon had so many things made that the total weight of all the bronze was never known.

19 Solomon also made all the things for God's Temple: the golden altar; tables which held the bread that shows God's people are in his presence;

20 the lampstands and their lamps of pure gold, to burn in front of the Most Holy Place as planned;

21 the flowers, lamps, and tongs of pure gold;

22 the pure gold wick trimmers, small bowls, pans, and dishes used to carry coals, the gold doors for the Temple, and the inside doors of the Most Holy Place and of the main room.

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 He made an altar of bronze thirty-five feet long, thirty-five feet wide and seventeen-and-a-half feet high.

2 He made the cast metal "Sea" circular, seventeen-and-a-half feet from rim to rim, eight-and-three quarters feet high and fifty-two-and-a-half feet in circumference.

3 Below the rim a ring of ox-like figures encircled it, ten for every twenty-one inches all the way around the Sea. The oxen were in two rows; they were cast when the Sea was cast.

4 It rested on twelve oxen, three looking north, three looking west, three looking south and three looking east, all with their hindquarters toward the center. The Sea was set on top of them.

5 It was a handbreadth thick, its rim was made like the rim of a cup, like the flower of a lily; and its capacity was 16,500 gallons.

6 He also made ten basins for washing and put five on the right and five on the left. Items needed for the burnt offerings would be cleansed in these, but the Sea was for the cohanim to wash in.

7 He made the ten menorahs of gold in accordance with their specifications and set them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left.

8 He also made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold.

9 He made the courtyard for the cohanim and the great courtyard, also the doors to the courtyard, which he overlaid with bronze.

10 The Sea he placed on the right side [of the house], toward the southeast.

11 Huram made the ash pots, shovels and sprinkling basins. With that, Huram completed the work he had been doing for King Shlomo in the house of God -

12 the two columns, the two moldings, the two capitals on top of the columns, the two nettings covering the two moldings of the capitals atop the columns,

13 and the 400 pomegranates for the two nettings, two rows of pomegranates for each netting, to cover the two moldings of the capitals atop the columns.

14 He also made the trolleys, the basins on the trolleys,

15 the one Sea, the twelve oxen under it,

16 the ash pots, the shovels, the forks and all the other equipment for it. All these articles that Huram the master craftsman made for King Shlomo in the house of ADONAI were of brilliant bronze.

17 The king cast them in the plain of the Yarden, in the clay ground between Sukkot and Tz'redah.

18 Shlomo made so many of these objects that the total weight of the bronze could not be determined.

19 Shlomo made all the objects that were inside the house of God: the gold altar; the table on which the showbread was displayed;

20 the menorahs with their lamps to burn in front of the sanctuary as specified, of pure gold;

21 the flowers, lamps and tongs of gold, solid gold;

22 and the snuffers, bowls, cups and fire pans of pure gold. As for the entryway to the house, the inner doors for the Especially Holy Place and the doors of the house (that is, of the temple) were of gold.
