Part 3

14:004:003 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.

14:004:004 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.

14:004:005 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.

14:004:006 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.

14:004:007 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.

14:004:008 He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made an hundred basons of gold.

14:004:009 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.

14:004:010 And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.

14:004:011 And Huram made 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;

14:004:012 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;

14:004:013 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.

14:004:014 He made also bases, and lavers made he upon the bases;

14:004:015 One sea, and twelve oxen under it.

14:004:016 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 the LORD of bright brass.

14:004:017 In the plain of Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah.

14:004:018 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass could not be found out.

14:004:019 And Solomon made all the vessels that were for the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon the shewbread was set;

14:004:020 Moreover the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the manner before the oracle, of pure gold;

14:004:021 And the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, made he of gold, and that perfect gold;

14:004:022 And the snuffers, and the basons, and the spoons, and the censers, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, the inner doors thereof for the most holy place, and the doors of the house of the temple, were of gold.

14:005:001 Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the LORD was finished: and Solomon brought in all the things that David his father had dedicated; and the silver, and the gold, and all the instruments, put he among the treasures of the house of God.

14:005:002 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

14:005:003 Wherefore all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto the king in the feast which was in the seventh month.

14:005:004 And all the elders of Israel came; and the Levites took up the ark.

14:005:005 And they brought up the ark, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, these did the priests and the Levites bring up.

14:005:006 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel that were assembled unto him before the ark, sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could not be told nor numbered for multitude.

14:005:007 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto his place, to the oracle of the house, into the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubims:

14:005:008 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
