## The Furnishings of the House of Yahweh
###### 1
Then he made a bronze altar, twenty cubits in length and twenty cubits in width and ten cubits in height.
###### 2
And he made the sea of cast _metal_ ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in its circumference.
###### 3
Now figures like oxen _were_ under it _and_ encircling it, ten cubits, entirely encircling the sea. The oxen _were_ in two rows, cast in one piece.
###### 4
It stood on twelve oxen, three facing the north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea _was set_ on top of them, and all their rear parts _turned_ inward.
###### 5
And it was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, _as_ a lily blossom; it could hold 3,000 baths.
###### 6
He also made ten lavers and set five on the right side and five on the left, in which to wash _things_, _that is_, in which they would rinse things for the burnt offering; but the sea _was_ for the priests to wash in.
###### 7
Then he made the ten golden lampstands in the way prescribed for them and he put them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left.
###### 8
He also made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the right side and five on the left. And he made one hundred golden bowls.
###### 9
Then he made the court of the priests and the great court and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.
###### 10
And he put the sea on the right side _of the house_ toward the southeast.
###### 11
And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram completed doing the work which he did for King Solomon in the house of God:
###### 12
the two pillars and the _two_ 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,
###### 13
and the 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.
###### 14
He also made the stands and he made the lavers on the stands,
###### 15
_and_ the one sea with the twelve oxen under it.
###### 16
And the pots and the shovels and the flesh hooks and all its utensils, Huram-abi made of polished bronze for King Solomon for the house of Yahweh.
###### 17
On the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.
###### 18
Thus Solomon made all these utensils in great quantities, for the weight of the bronze could not be found out.
###### 19
Solomon also made all the furniture which _was in_ the house of God: even the golden altar and the tables with the bread of the Presence on them,
###### 20
and the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary in the way prescribed;
###### 21
and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs of gold, of purest gold;
###### 22
and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the entrance of the house, its inner doors for the Holy of Holies and the doors of the house, _that is_, of the nave, of gold.
