1 Kings 7:16-42

16And he madeH6213 twoH8147 chapitersH3805 of moltenH3332 brassH5178, to setH5414 upon the topsH7218 of the pillarsH5982: the heightH6967 of the oneH259 chapiterH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 of the otherH8145 chapiterH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520: 17And netsH7638 of checkerH7639 workH4639, and wreathsH1434 of chainH8333 workH4639, for the chapitersH3805 which were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; sevenH7651 for the oneH259 chapiterH3805, and sevenH7651 for the otherH8145 chapiterH3805. 18And he madeH6213 the pillarsH5982, and twoH8147 rowsH2905 round aboutH5439 upon the oneH259 networkH7639, to coverH3680 the chapitersH3805 that were upon the topH7218, with pomegranatesH7416: and so didH6213 he for the otherH8145 chapiterH3805. 19And the chapitersH3805 that were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 were of lilyH7799 workH4639 in the porchH197, fourH702 cubitsH520. 20And the chapitersH3805 upon the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 had pomegranates also aboveH4605, over againstH5980 the bellyH990 which was byH5676 the networkH7639: and the pomegranatesH7416 were two hundredH3967 in rowsH2905 round aboutH5439 upon the otherH8145 chapiterH3805. 21And he set upH6965 the pillarsH5982 in the porchH197 of the templeH1964: and he set upH6965 the rightH3233 pillarH5982, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof JachinH3199: and he set upH6965 the leftH8042 pillarH5982, and calledH7121 the nameH8034 thereof BoazH1162.12 22And upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 was lilyH7799 workH4639: so was the workH4399 of the pillarsH5982 finishedH8552.

23And he madeH6213 a moltenH3332 seaH3220, tenH6235 cubitsH520 from the one brimH8193 to the otherH8193: it was roundH5696 all aboutH5439, and his heightH6967 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520: and a lineH6961H6957 of thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 did compassH5437 it round aboutH5439.3 24And under the brimH8193 of it round aboutH5439 there were knopsH6497 compassingH5437 it, tenH6235 in a cubitH520, compassingH5362 the seaH3220 round aboutH5439: the knopsH6497 were castH3333 in twoH8147 rowsH2905, when it was castH3332. 25It stoodH5975 upon twelveH6240H8147 oxenH1241, threeH7969 lookingH6437 toward the northH6828, and threeH7969 lookingH6437 toward the westH3220, and threeH7969 lookingH6437 toward the southH5045, and threeH7969 lookingH6437 toward the eastH4217: and the seaH3220 was set aboveH4605 upon them, and all their hinder partsH268 were inwardH1004. 26And it was an hand breadthH2947 thickH5672, and the brimH8193 thereof was wroughtH4639 like the brimH8193 of a cupH3563, with flowersH6525 of liliesH7799: it containedH3557 two thousandH505 bathsH1324.

27And he madeH6213 tenH6235 basesH4350 of brassH5178; fourH702 cubitsH520 was the lengthH753 of oneH259 baseH4350, and fourH702 cubitsH520 the breadthH7341 thereof, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 the heightH6967 of it. 28And the workH4639 of the basesH4350 was on this manner: they had bordersH4526, and the bordersH4526 were between the ledgesH7948: 29And on the bordersH4526 that were between the ledgesH7948 were lionsH738, oxenH1241, and cherubimsH3742: and upon the ledgesH7948 there was a baseH3653 aboveH4605: and beneath the lionsH738 and oxenH1241 were certain additionsH3914 made of thinH4174 workH4639. 30And everyH259 baseH4350 had fourH702 brasenH5178 wheelsH212, and platesH5633 of brassH5178: and the fourH702 cornersH6471 thereof had undersettersH3802: under the laverH3595 were undersettersH3802 moltenH3332, at the sideH5676 of everyH376 additionH3914. 31And the mouthH6310 of it withinH1004 the chapiterH3805 and aboveH4605 was a cubitH520: but the mouthH6310 thereof was roundH5696 after the workH4639 of the baseH3653, a cubitH520 and an halfH2677: and also upon the mouthH6310 of it were gravingsH4734 with their bordersH4526, foursquareH7251, not roundH5696. 32And underH8478 the bordersH4526 were fourH702 wheelsH212; and the axletreesH3027 of the wheelsH212 were joined to the baseH4350: and the heightH6967 of aH259 wheelH212 was a cubitH520 and halfH2677 a cubitH520.4 33And the workH4639 of the wheelsH212 was like the workH4639 of a chariotH4818 wheelH212: their axletreesH3027, and their navesH1354, and their felloesH2839, and their spokesH2840, were all moltenH3332. 34And there were fourH702 undersettersH3802 to the fourH702 cornersH6438 of oneH259 baseH4350: and the undersettersH3802 were of the very baseH4350 itself. 35And in the topH7218 of the baseH4350 was there a roundH5696 compassH5439 of halfH2677 a cubitH520 highH6967: and on the topH7218 of the baseH4350 the ledgesH3027 thereof and the bordersH4526 thereof were of the same. 36For on the platesH3871 of the ledgesH3027 thereof, and on the bordersH4526 thereof, he gravedH6605 cherubimsH3742, lionsH738, and palm treesH8561, according to the proportionH4626 of every oneH376, and additionsH3914 round aboutH5439.5 37After this manner he madeH6213 the tenH6235 basesH4350: all of them had oneH259 castingH4165, oneH259 measureH4060, and oneH259 sizeH7095.

38Then madeH6213 he tenH6235 laversH3595 of brassH5178: oneH259 laverH3595 containedH3557 fortyH705 bathsH1324: and everyH259 laverH3595 was fourH702 cubitsH520: and upon every oneH259 of the tenH6235 basesH4350 oneH259 laverH3595. 39And he putH5414 fiveH2568 basesH4350 on the rightH3225 sideH3802 of the houseH1004, and fiveH2568 on the leftH8040 sideH3802 of the houseH1004: and he setH5414 the seaH3220 on the rightH3233 sideH3802 of the houseH1004 eastwardH6924 over againstH4136 the southH5045.6

40And HiramH2438 madeH6213 the laversH3595, and the shovelsH3257, and the basonsH4219. So HiramH2438 madeH3615 an end of doingH6213 all the workH4399 that he madeH6213 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 for the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068:7 41The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, and the two bowlsH1543 of the chapitersH3805 that were on the topH7218 of the twoH8147 pillarsH5982; and the twoH8147 networksH7639, to coverH3680 the twoH8147 bowlsH1543 of the chapitersH3805 which were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; 42And fourH702 hundredH3967 pomegranatesH7416 for the twoH8147 networksH7639, even twoH8147 rowsH2905 of pomegranatesH7416 for oneH259 networkH7639, to coverH3680 the twoH8147 bowlsH1543 of the chapitersH3805 that were uponH6440 the pillarsH5982;8
