II Paralipomenon 4
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
4 Fecit quoque altare aeneum viginti cubitorum longitudinis, et viginti cubitorum latitudinis, et decem cubitorum altitudinis.
2 Mare etiam fusile decem cubitis a labio usque ad labium, rotundum per circuitum: quinque cubitos habebat altitudinis, et funiculus triginta cubitorum ambiebat gyrum ejus.
3 Similitudo quoque boum erat subter illud, et decem cubitis quaedam extrinsecus caelaturae, quasi duobus versibus alvum maris circuibant. Boves autem erant fusiles:
4 et ipsum mare super duodecim boves impositum erat, quorum tres respiciebant ad aquilonem, et alii tres ad occidentem: porro tres alii meridiem, et tres qui reliqui erant, orientem, habentes mare superpositum: posteriora autem boum erant intrinsecus sub mari.
5 Porro vastitas ejus habebat mensuram palmi, et labium illius erat quasi labium calicis, vel repandi lilii: capiebatque tria millia metretas.
6 Fecit quoque conchas decem: et posuit quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris, ut lavarent in eis omnia quae in holocaustum oblaturi erant: porro in mari sacerdotes lavabantur.
7 Fecit autem et candelabra aurea decem secundum speciem qua jussa erant fieri: et posuit ea in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris.
8 Necnon et mensas decem: et posuit eas in templo, quinque a dextris, et quinque a sinistris: phialas quoque aureas centum.
9 Fecit etiam atrium sacerdotum, et basilicam grandem: et ostia in basilica, quae texit aere.
10 Porro mare posuit in latere dextro contra orientem ad meridiem.
11 Fecit autem Hiram lebetes, et creagras, et phialas: et complevit omne opus regis in domo Dei:
12 hoc est, columnas duas, et epistylia, et capita, et quasi quaedam retiacula, quae capita tegerent super epistylia.
13 Malogranata quoque quadringenta, et retiacula duo ita ut bini ordines malogranatorum singulis retiaculis jungerentur, quae protegerent epistylia, et capita columnarum.
14 Bases etiam fecit, et conchas, quas superposuit basibus:
15 mare unum, boves quoque duodecim sub mari,
16 et lebetes, et creagras, et phialas. Omnia vasa fecit Salomoni Hiram pater ejus in domo Domini ex aere mundissimo.
17 In regione Jordanis, fudit ea rex in argillosa terra inter Sochot et Saredatha.
18 Erat autem multitudo vasorum innumerabilis, ita ut ignoraretur pondus aeris.
19 Fecitque Salomon omnia vasa domus Dei, et altare aureum, et mensas, et super eas panes propositionis:
20 candelabra quoque cum lucernis suis ut lucerent ante oraculum juxta ritum ex auro purissimo:
21 et florentia quaedam, et lucernas, et forcipes aureos: omnia de auro mundissimo facta sunt.
22 Thymiateria quoque, et thuribula, et phialas, et mortariola ex auro purissimo. Et ostia caelavit templi interioris, id est, in Sancta sanctorum: et ostia templi forinsecus aurea. Sicque completum est omne opus quod fecit Salomon in domo Domini.

The Temple’s Furnishings(A)
4 He made a bronze altar(B) twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.[a] 2 He made the Sea(C) of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits[b] high. It took a line of thirty cubits[c] to measure around it. 3 Below the rim, figures of bulls encircled it—ten to a cubit.[d] The bulls were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea.
4 The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east.(D) The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. 5 It was a handbreadth[e] in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held three thousand baths.[f]
6 He then made ten basins(E) for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. In them the things to be used for the burnt offerings(F) were rinsed, but the Sea was to be used by the priests for washing.
7 He made ten gold lampstands(G) according to the specifications(H) for them and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.
8 He made ten tables(I) and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold sprinkling bowls.(J)
9 He made the courtyard(K) of the priests, and the large court and the doors for the court, and overlaid the doors with bronze. 10 He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner.
11 And Huram also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls.
So Huram finished(L) the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of God:
12 the two pillars;
the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;
13 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);
14 the stands(M) with their basins;
15 the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;
16 the pots, shovels, meat forks and all related articles.
All the objects that Huram-Abi(N) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of polished bronze. 17 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Sukkoth(O) and Zarethan.[g] 18 All these things that Solomon made amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze(P) could not be calculated.
19 Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in God’s temple:
the golden altar;
the tables(Q) on which was the bread of the Presence;
20 the lampstands(R) of pure gold with their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed;
21 the gold floral work and lamps and tongs (they were solid gold);
22 the pure gold wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes(S) and censers;(T) and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place and the doors of the main hall.
