1 Kings 7:15-32

15For he fashioned the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of brass, eighteen cubitsH520 high apiece: and a lineH2339 of twelve cubitsH520 compassed either of them about. 16And he madeH6213 twoH8147 capitalsH3805 of molten brass, to setH5414 upon the topsH7218 of the pillarsH5982: the heightH6967 of the oneH259 capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 of the other capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520. 17There were nets of checker-work, and wreaths of chain-work, for the capitalsH3805 which were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; sevenH7651 for the oneH259 capitalH3805, and sevenH7651 for the other capitalH3805. 18So he madeH6213 the pillarsH5982; and there were twoH8147 rowsH2905 roundH5439 about upon the oneH259 networkH7639, to coverH3680 the capitalsH3805 that were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982: and soH3651 did he for the other capitalH3805. 19And the capitalsH3805 that were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 in the porchH197 were of lily-work, fourH702 cubitsH520. 20And there were capitalsH3805 above alsoH1571 upon the twoH8147 pillarsH5982, closeH5980 by the bellyH990 which was beside the networkH7639: and the pomegranatesH7416 were twoH8147 hundredH3967, in rowsH2905 roundH5439 about upon the other capitalH3805. 21And he setH6965 up the pillarsH5982 at the porchH197 of the templeH1964: and he setH6965 up the rightH3233 pillarH5982, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof Jachin; and he setH6965 up the left pillarH5982, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof BoazH1162. 22And upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 was lily-work: so was the workH4399 of the pillarsH5982 finishedH8552.

23And he madeH6213 the molten seaH3220 of tenH6235 cubitsH520 from brim to brim, roundH5439 in compass, and the heightH6967 thereof was fiveH2568 cubitsH520; and a line of thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 compassed it roundH5439 about. 24And under the brim of it roundH5439 about there were knops which did compass it, for tenH6235 cubitsH520, compassing the seaH3220 roundH5439 about: the knops were in twoH8147 rowsH2905, castH3332 when it was castH3332. 25It stoodH5975 upon twelve oxenH1241, threeH7969 looking toward the northH6828, and threeH7969 looking toward the westH3220, and threeH7969 looking toward the southH5045, and threeH7969 looking toward the eastH4217; and the seaH3220 was setH5975 upon them above, and all their hinder partsH268 were inward. 26And it was a handbreadth thick: and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cupH3563, like the flower of a lilyH7799: it heldH3557 two thousandH505 bathsH1324.

27And he madeH6213 the tenH6235 bases of brass; fourH702 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 of oneH259 base, and fourH702 cubitsH520 the breadthH7341 thereof, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 the heightH6967 of it. 28And the workH4639 of the bases was on this manner: they had panels; and there were panels between the ledges; 29and on the panels that were between the ledges were lionsH738, oxenH1241, and cherubimH3742; and upon the ledges there was a pedestal above; and beneath the lionsH738 and oxenH1241 were wreaths of hanging workH4639. 30And every base had fourH702 brazen wheelsH212, and axles of brass; and the fourH702 feet thereof had undersetters: beneath the laverH3595 were the undersetters molten, with wreaths at the sideH3802 of each. 31And the mouthH6310 of it within the capitalH3805 and above was a cubitH520: and the mouthH6310 thereof was roundH5696 after the workH4639 of a pedestal, a cubitH520 and a halfH2677; and alsoH1571 upon the mouthH6310 of it were gravings, and their panels were foursquare, not roundH5696. 32And the fourH702 wheelsH212 were underneath the panels; and the axletrees of the wheelsH212 were in the base: and the heightH6967 of a wheelH212 was a cubitH520 and halfH2677 a cubitH520.
