40Additionally, HuramH2438 madeH6213 the potsH3595,1 shovelsH3257, and sprinkling bowlsH4219.

So HuramH2438 finishedH3615 allH3605 the workH4399 thatH834 he had undertakenH6213 for KingH4428 SolomonH8010 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:

41the twoH8147 pillarsH5982; the twoH8147 bowl-shapedH1543 capitalsH3805 atopH5921H7218 the pillarsH5982; the twoH8147 sets of networkH7639 coveringH3680 bothH8147 bowlsH1543 of the capitalsH3805 atopH7218 the pillarsH5982; 42the fourH702 hundredH3967 pomegranatesH7416 for the twoH8147 sets of networkH7639 (twoH8147 rowsH2905 of pomegranatesH7416 for eachH259 networkH7639 coveringH3680 bothH8147 the bowl-shapedH1543 capitalsH3805 atopH5921H6440 the pillarsH5982); 43the tenH6235 standsH4350; the tenH6235 basinsH3595 onH5921 the standsH4350; 44the SeaH3220H259; the twelveH8147H6240 oxenH1241 underneathH8478 the SeaH3220; 45andH853 the potsH5518, shovelsH3257, and sprinkling bowlsH4219.

AllH3605 the articlesH3627H168 thatH834 HuramH2438 madeH6213 for KingH4428 SolomonH8010 in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 were made of burnishedH4803 bronzeH5178. 46The kingH4428 had them castH3332 in clayH4568 moldsH127 in the plainH3603 of the JordanH3383 betweenH996 SuccothH5523H996 and ZarethanH6891.2 47Solomon leftH8010 allH3605 these articlesH3627 unweighedH5117, because there were soH3966 manyH7230. The weightH4948 of the bronzeH5178 could notH3808 be determinedH2713.

48SolomonH8010 also madeH6213 allH3605 the furnishingsH3627 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:

the goldenH2091 altarH4196; the goldenH2091 tableH7979 on whichH834 was placedH5921 the BreadH3899 of the PresenceH6440; 49the lampstandsH4501 of pureH5462 goldH2091 in frontH6440 of the inner sanctuaryH1687, fiveH2568 on the rightH3225 side and fiveH2568 on the leftH8040; the goldH2091 flowersH6525, lampsH5216, and tongsH4457; 50the pureH5462 goldH2091 basinsH5592, wick trimmersH4212, sprinkling bowlsH4219, ladlesH3709, and censersH4289; and the goldH2091 hingesH6596 for the doorsH1817 of the innerH6442 templeH1004 (that is, the Most Holy PlaceH69443) as well as for the doorsH1817 of the main hallH1004 of the templeH1964.

51So allH3605 the workH4399 thatH834 KingH4428 SolomonH8010 had performedH6213 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 was completedH7999.

Then SolomonH8010 brought in the itemsH935 his fatherH1 DavidH1732 had dedicatedH6944—the silverH3701, the goldH2091, andH853 the furnishingsH3627—and he placed themH5414 in the treasuriesH214 of the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
