The temple equipment

4:1 The temple equipment

(1 Kgs 7:23-51)

4Then he made a square, bronze altar, nine metres on each side and 4.5m high,[ref] 2and he made the large, round metal water tank (called ‘The Sea’) which was 4.5m diameter and over two metres high. 3Below the outer rim were two rows of small, ornamental bulls spaced 45cm apart that were also part of the same casting. 4Supporting ‘The Sea’ were twelve large cast bulls—facing outwards with three facing each of the four compass points. 5The sides of the tank were eight centimeters thick. The tank’s brim was fashioned like the brim of a cup, resembling a lily blossom. The tank held sixty-six thousand litres of water. 6Then he made ten washbasins, placing five on each side for the priests to rinse the burnt offerings in. The priests used ‘The Sea’ to wash in.[ref]

7He made the ten gold lampstands as per their design, and placed them in the temple with five on each side.[ref] 8He made ten tables and also placed them in the temple with five on each side, plus he made one hundred gold basins.[ref]

9He made the courtyard for the priests, as well as the large courtyard with its doors overlaid with bronze, 10and he placed ‘The Sea’ in the southeast corner.

11Meanwhile, Huram made the tubs and shovels (for the ashes from the altar) and other small bowls.

So Huram finished the work for God’s temple that King Shelomoh had assigned to him: 12the two pillars, and the bowl-shaped the capitals on top of each pillar, and the two sets of latticework to cover those two bowls of the capitals, 13and the four hundred pomegranates for the latticework—two rows of pomegranates to cover each of the two bowls of the capitals that decorated the tops of the pillars. 14He also made the washbasins and their stands, 15‘The Sea’ and the twelve bulls that hold it up, 16and the tubs and shovels, the forks, and other utensils.

Those were all items made of polished bronze that Huram-Abi made for King Shelomoh for Yahweh’s temple.

17The king had them cast in the clay between Sukkot and Tseredah down by the Yordan River. 18Shelomoh had so many items made that they didn’t even try to weigh all the bronze.

19Shelomoh had all the items for God’s temple made, including the gold altar and the tables for displaying the sacred bread, 20and the pure gold lampstands and their lamps for the inner sanctuary according to their designs, 21the pure gold flower ornaments, lamps, tongs, 22the pure gold lamp trimmers, the basins and spoons, and fire pans. Also the temple entrance, its inner doors into the very sacred room, and the outer temple doors were all gold.

5After all the work which Solomon did for Yahweh’s temple was completed, Solomon brought in the sacred things of his father David: the gold and silver, and all the items, he placed in the temple treasuries.[ref]
