2 Chronicles 4:1-13

2 Chronicles 4:1-13 CSB

He made a bronze altar  30 feet  long, 30 feet wide, and 15 feet  high. Then he made the cast metal basin,  , 15 feet from brim to brim, perfectly round. It was 7 1/2 feet  high and 45 feet  in circumference. The likeness of oxen  was below it, completely encircling it, ten every half yard,  completely surrounding the basin. The oxen were cast in two rows when the basin was cast. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The basin was on top of them and all their hindquarters were toward the center. The basin was three inches  thick, and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup or a lily blossom. It could hold eleven thousand gallons.  He made ten basins for washing and he put five on the right and five on the left.  The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them,  but the basin was used by the priests for washing. He made the ten gold lampstands according to their specifications and put them in the sanctuary, five on the right and five on the left.  He made ten tables and placed them in the sanctuary, five on the right and five on the left.  He also made a hundred gold bowls. He made the courtyard  of the priests and the large court, and doors for the court. He overlaid the doors with bronze. He put the basin on the right side, toward the southeast.  Then Huram  , made  the pots, the shovels, and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work that he was doing for King Solomon in God’s temple: two pillars; the bowls and the capitals on top of the two pillars; the two gratings for covering both bowls of the capitals that were on top of the pillars; the four hundred pomegranates for the two gratings (two rows of pomegranates for each grating covering both capitals’ bowls on top of the pillars  ).
