Furnishings of the Temple
1Moreover he made ⚓a bronze altar: twenty cubits was its length, twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.
2⚓Then he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.
3⚓And under it was the likeness of oxen encircling it all around, ten to a cubit, all the way around the Sea. The oxen were cast in two rows, when it was cast.
4It stood on twelve ⚓oxen: three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; the Sea was set upon them, and all their back parts pointed inward.
5It was a handbreadth thick; and its brim was shaped like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It contained three thousand baths.
6He also made ⚓ten lavers, and put five on the right side and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as they offered for the burnt offering they would wash in them, but the Sea was for the ⚓priests to wash in.
7⚓And he made ten lampstands of gold ⚓according to their design, and set 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 ⚓bowls of gold.
9Furthermore ⚓he made the court of the priests, and the ⚓great court and doors for the court; and he overlaid these doors with bronze.
10⚓He set the Sea on the right side, toward the southeast.
11Then ⚓Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of God:
12the two pillars and ⚓the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the pillars;
13⚓four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on the pillars);
14he also made ⚓carts and the lavers on the carts;
15one Sea and twelve oxen under it;
16also the pots, the shovels, the forks—and all their articles ⚓Huram his master craftsman made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of the Lord.
17In the plain of Jordan the king had them cast in clay molds, between Succoth and Zeredah.
18⚓And Solomon had all these articles made in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze was not determined.
19Thus ⚓Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of God: the altar of gold and the tables on which was⚓the showbread;
20the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn ⚓in the prescribed manner in front of the inner sanctuary,
21with ⚓the flowers and the lamps and the wick-trimmers of gold, of purest gold;
22the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold. As for the entry of the sanctuary, its inner doors to the Most Holy Place, and the doors of the main hall of the temple, were gold.

圣殿的设备
（王上7．23－51）
1他造一座铜坛，长二十肘，宽二十肘，高十肘。
2他又铸一个铜海，周围是圆的，直径十肘，高五肘，用绳子量周围是三十肘。
3铜海下面的周围有牛的样式，有十肘，绕着铜海；牛有两行，是造铜海的时候铸上去的。
4铜海安在十二头铜牛上：三头向北，三头向西，三头向南，三头向东。铜海安在牛上，牛尾都向内。
5铜海厚一掌，边如杯边，像百合花，容量是三千罢特。
6他又造十个盆：五个放在右边，五个放在左边，作洗涤之用。献燔祭所用之物都洗在盆内；但铜海是为祭司洗涤用的。
7他照所定的样式造十个金灯台，放在殿里：五个在右边，五个在左边。
8他造十张桌子，放在殿里：五张在右边，五张在左边。他又造一百个金碗。
9他建造祭司院和大院，以及院门，门扇包上铜。
10他把铜海安在殿的右边，就是东南边。
11户兰又造了盆、铲子和盘子。这样，户兰为所罗门王做完了上帝殿的工：
12两根柱子和柱子顶上两个如碗的柱顶，以及盖着如碗柱顶的两个网子；
13四百个石榴，安在两个网子上，每网两行石榴，盖着柱子上面两个如碗的柱顶。
14他造盆座，又造其上的盆；
15铜海和其下的十二头牛；
16盆、铲子、肉叉。巧匠户兰给所罗门王为耶和华殿造的这一切器皿都是用磨亮的铜，
17是王在约旦平原、疏割和撒利但中间的泥巴地铸成的。
18所罗门造这一切器皿，数量很多，铜的重量无法计算。
19所罗门又为上帝的殿造了各样的器皿：金坛和献供饼的供桌；
20纯金的灯台和灯盏，可以照定例点在内殿前；
21灯台上的花和灯盏，以及灯剪，都是金的，而且是纯金的；
22纯金的钳子、盘子、勺子、火盆。至于殿门和至圣所的门扇，以及殿的门扇，都是金的。
