The Bronze Altar and Molten Sea

(1 Kings 7:23–26)

4He made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.[fn]

2He also made the Sea of cast metal. [It was] circular in shape measuring ten cubits from rim to [rim], five cubits in height, and thirty cubits in circumference 3Below [the rim], figures of oxen encircled it, ten per cubit all the way around the Sea, cast in two rows as a part of [the Sea].

4[The Sea] stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. [The Sea] rested on them with all their hindquarters toward the center. 5It was a handbreadth thick,[fn] and its rim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It could hold three thousand baths.[fn]

The Ten Basins, Lampstands, and Tables

(1 Kings 7:38–39)

6He also made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. The parts of the burnt offering were rinsed in them, but the priests [used] the Sea for washing.

7He made ten gold lampstands according to their specifications and placed [them] in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north.

8Additionally, he made ten tables and placed [them] in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold bowls.

The Courts

9He made the courtyard of the priests and the large court with its doors and he overlaid the doors with bronze.

10He put the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner

Completion of the Bronze Works

(1 Kings 7:40–47)

11Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work that he had undertaken for King Solomon in the house of God:

16and the pots, shovels, meat forks, and all the other articles. [All these objects that] Huram-abi made for King Solomon for the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. 17The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zeredah.[fn] 18Solomon made all these articles in such great abundance that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

Completion of the Gold Furnishings

(1 Kings 7:48–51)


4:1 The altar was approximately 30 feet in length and width and 15 feet high (9.1 meters in length and width and 4.6 meters high).

4:5 A handbreadth is approximately 2.9 inches or 7.4 centimeters.

4:5 3,000 baths is approximately 17,400 gallons or 66,000 liters.

4:17 Zeredah is a variant of Zarethan; see 1 Kings 7:46.
