2 Chronicles 4:5-16 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. Now its thickness had the measure of the palm of a hand, and its brim was like the lip of a cup, or like the outturned petal of a lily. And it held three thousand measures.

6. Also, he made ten basins. And he placed five on the right, and five on the left, so that they might wash in them all the things that they were to offer as holocausts. But the priests were to be washed in the sea.

7. Then he also made ten gold lampstands, according to the form by which they had been ordered to be made. And he set them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left.

8. Moreover, there were also ten tables. And he placed them in the temple, five on the right, and five on the left. Also, there were one hundred gold bowls.

9. Then too, he made the court of the priests, and a great hall, and doors in the hall, which he covered with brass.

10. Now he placed the sea on the right side, facing the east, toward the south.

11. Then Hiram made cooking pots and hooks and bowls. And he completed every work of the king in the house of God,

12. that is, the two pillars, and the crossbeams, and the heads, and something like a little net, which would cover the heads above the crossbeams,

13. and also four hundred pomegranates, and two little nets, so that two rows of pomegranates were joined to each net, which would cover the crossbeams and the heads of the pillars.

14. He also made bases; and basins that he placed upon the bases;

15. one sea, and twelve oxen under the sea;

16. and cooking pots and hooks and bowls. Hiram, his father, made all the vessels for Solomon, in the house of the Lord, from the purest brass.
