GodsWord - II Chronicles - 4

4:1  He made a bronze altar 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, and 15 feet high.

4:2  Huram made a pool from cast metal. It was 15 feet in diameter. It was round, 7½ feet high, and had a circumference of 45 feet.

4:3  Under the rim were two rows of figurines shaped like bulls all around the 45-foot circumference of the pool. They were cast in metal when the pool was cast.

4:4  The pool was set on 12 metal bulls. Three bulls faced north, three faced west, three faced south, and three faced east. The pool was set on them, and their hindquarters were toward the center of the pool.

4:5  The pool was three inches thick. Its rim was like the rim of a cup, shaped like a lily's bud. It held 18,000 gallons.

4:6  Huram also made ten basins for washing and put five on the south side and five on the north side. The priests rinsed the meat prepared for the burnt offerings in them. They used the pool to wash themselves.

4:7  Huram made ten gold lamp stands according to their specifications and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side.

4:8  He made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north side. And he made 100 gold bowls.

4:9  He also made the priests' courtyard and the large courtyard and its doors. He covered the doors with bronze.

4:10  He set the pool on the south side in the southeast corner.

4:11  Huram also made the pots, shovels, and bowls. So Huram finished the work for King Solomon in God's temple:

4:12  2 pillars, bowl-shaped capitals on top of the 2 pillars, and 2 sets of filigree to cover the 2 bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars,

4:13  400 pomegranates for the 2 sets of filigree (2 rows of pomegranates for each filigree to cover the 2 bowl-shaped capitals on the pillars),

4:14  10 stands and 10 basins on the stands,

4:15  1 pool and the 12 bulls under it,

4:16  pots, shovels, and three-pronged forks. Huram made all of them out of polished bronze for the LORD's temple at King Solomon's request.

4:17  The king cast them in foundries in the Jordan Valley between Succoth and Zeredah.

4:18  Solomon made so many of these products that no one tried to determine how much the bronze weighed.

4:19  Solomon made all the furnishings for God's temple: the gold altar, the gold tables on which the bread of the presence was placed,

4:20  lamp stands and lamps of pure gold (to burn as directed in front of the inner room),

4:21  flowers, lamps, pure gold tongs,

4:22  snuffers, basins, dishes, incense burners of pure gold, the gold entrance to the temple, the gold doors of the inner room (the most holy place), and the gold doors of the temple.
