and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.
CHAPTER CHRONICLES 4
Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth
thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
2
Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits
the height thereof; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.
3
And under it
was
the
similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round
about. Two rows of oxen
were
cast, when it was cast.
4
It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking
toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three
looking toward the east: and the sea
was set
above upon them, and all their hinder parts
were
inward.
5
And the thickness of it
was
an handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup,
with flowers of lilies;
and
it received and held three thousand baths.
6
He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand,and five on the left, to wash in them:
such things as they offered for the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea
was
for the priests
to wash in.
7
And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their form, and set
them
in the
temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.
8

them
in
the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold.
9
Furthermore he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and
overlaid the doors of them with brass.
10
And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over
against the south.
11
And Hurammade the pots, and the shovels, and the basons. And Huram finished
the work that he was to make for king Solomon for the house of God;
12
To wit,
the two pillars,
and the pommels, and the chapiters
which were
on the top of the two pillars, and the two wreaths
to cover the two pommels of the chapiters which
were
on the top of the pillars;
13
And four hundred
pomegranates on the two wreaths; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two
pommels of the chapiters which
were
upon the pillars.
14
He made also bases, and lavers made he
upon the bases;
15
One sea, and twelve oxen under it.

The pots also, and the shovels, and the
fleshhooks, and all their instruments, did Huram his father make to king Solomon for the house of
