1 Kings 7:15-32

15And he formed the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of brass; the heightH6967 of oneH259 pillarH5982 was eighteen cubitsH520, and a lineH2339 of twelve cubitsH520 encompassed the secondH8145 pillarH5982.

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;

17[and] nets of checker-work, 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.

18And he madeH6213 pomegranatesH7416, namely twoH8147 rowsH2905 roundH5439 about upon the oneH259 networkH7639, to coverH3680 the capitalsH3805 that were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; and so he did for the other capitalH3805.

19And the capitalsH3805 that were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 were of lily-work [as] in the porchH197, fourH702 cubitsH520.

20And the capitalsH3805 upon the twoH8147 pillarsH5982, above alsoH1571, closeH5980 to the enlargement which was behind the networkH7639, had twoH8147 hundredH3967 pomegranatesH7416 in rowsH2905 roundH5439 about, [alsoH1571] on the other capitalH3805.

21And he setH6965 up the pillarsH5982 for the porchH197 of the templeH1964; and he setH6965 up the rightH3233 pillarH5982, and calledH7121 its nameH8034 Jachin; and he setH6965 up the left pillarH5982, and calledH7121 its nameH8034 BoazH1162.

22And upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 was lily-work; and the workH4399 of the pillarsH5982 was finishedH8552.

23And he madeH6213 the seaH3220, molten, tenH6235 cubitsH520 from brim to brim, roundH5439 all about; and its heightH6967 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520; and a line of thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 encompassed it roundH5439 about.

24And under the brim of it roundH5439 about there were colocynths, encompassing it, tenH6235 in a cubitH520 enclosing the seaH3220 roundH5439 about; twoH8147 rowsH2905 of colocynths, 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 above upon them, and all their hinder partsH268 were inward.

26And its thicknessH5672 was a hand-breadth, and its brim was like the workH4639 of the brim of a cupH3563, with lily-blossoms; it heldH3557 two thousandH505 bathsH1324.

27And he madeH6213 tenH6235 bases of brass: fourH702 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 of oneH259 base, and the breadthH7341 fourH702 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 threeH7969 cubitsH520.

28And the workH4639 of the bases was this: they had panels, and the panels were between the fillets.

29And on the panels that were between the fillets were lionsH738, oxenH1241 and cherubimH3742; and over the fillets there was a baseH3653 above; and beneath the lionsH738 and oxenH1241 were garlands of festoon-work.

30And every base had fourH702 wheelsH212 of brass, and axles of brass; and on its fourH702 corners were shoulder-pieces: under the laverH3595 were shoulder-pieces molten, behind every garland.

31And the mouthH6310 of it within the crown and above was a cubitH520; and its mouthH6310 was rounded, [as] the workH4639 of the baseH3653, a cubitH520 and a halfH2677; and alsoH1571 upon its mouthH6310 was sculpture; but their panels were squareH7251, not roundH5696.

32And the fourH702 wheelsH212 were under the panels; and the supports of the wheelsH212 were in the base; and the heightH6967 of a wheelH212 was a cubitH520 and halfH2677 a cubitH520.
