1 Kings 7:13-45
13And kingH4428 SolomonH8010 sentH7971 and broughtH3947 HiramH2438 out of TyreH6865.1 14He was a widow’sH802H490 sonH1121 of the tribeH4294 of NaphtaliH5321, and his fatherH1 was a manH376 of TyreH6876, a workerH2790 in brassH5178: and he was filledH4390 with wisdomH2451, and understandingH8394, and skillH1847 in workingH6213 all worksH4399 in brassH5178. And he cameH935 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010, and wroughtH6213 all his workH4399.2 15For he castH6696 twoH8147 pillarsH5982 of brassH5178, each of eighteenH8083H6240 cubitsH520 highH6967H5982H259: and a lineH2339 of twelveH8147H6240 cubitsH520 did surroundH5437 eachH8145 of them.3 16And he madeH6213 twoH8147 capitalsH3805 of moltenH3332 brassH5178, to setH5414 upon the topsH7218 of the pillarsH5982: the heightH6967 of the oneH259 capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520, and the heightH6967 of the otherH8145 capitalH3805 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520: 17And netsH7638 of checkerH7639 workH4639, and wreathsH1434 of chainH8333 workH4639, for the capitalsH3805 which were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982; sevenH7651 for the oneH259 capitalH3805, and sevenH7651 for the otherH8145 capitalH3805. 18And he madeH6213 the pillarsH5982, and twoH8147 rowsH2905 all aroundH5439 upon the oneH259 networkH7639, to coverH3680 the capitalsH3805 that were upon the topH7218, with pomegranatesH7416: and so he didH6213 for the otherH8145 capitalH3805. 19And the capitalsH3805 that were upon the topH7218 of the pillarsH5982 were of lilyH7799 workH4639 in the porchH197, fourH702 cubitsH520. 20And the capitalsH3805 upon the twoH8147 pillarsH5982 had pomegranates also aboveH4605, close toH5980 the enlargementH990 which was byH5676 the networkH7639: and the pomegranatesH7416 were two hundredH3967 in rowsH2905 all aroundH5439 upon the otherH8145 capitalH3805. 21And he set upH6965 the pillarsH5982 in the porchH197 of the templeH1964: and he set upH6965 the rightH3233 pillarH5982, and calledH7121 its nameH8034 JachinH3199: and he set upH6965 the leftH8042 pillarH5982, and calledH7121 its nameH8034 BoazH1162.45 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 in formH5439, and its heightH6967 was fiveH2568 cubitsH520: and a lineH6957H6961 of thirtyH7970 cubitsH520 surroundedH5437 itH5439.6 24And under the brimH8193 of it all aroundH5439 there were gourdsH6497 surroundingH5437 it, tenH6235 in a cubitH520, all the way aroundH5362H5439 the seaH3220: the gourdsH6497 were castH3333 in twoH8147 rowsH2905, when it was castH3332. 25It stoodH5975 upon twelveH8147H6240 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 its brimH8193 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 of it, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 the heightH6967 of it. 28And the workH4639 of the basesH4350 was in this manner : they had bordersH4526, and the bordersH4526 were between the framesH7948: 29And on the bordersH4526 that were between the framesH7948 were lionsH738, oxenH1241, and cherubimH3742: and upon the framesH7948 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 axlesH5633 of brassH5178: and its fourH702 cornersH6471 had supportsH3802: under the laverH3595 were moltenH3332 supportsH3802 at the sideH5676 of everyH376 additionH3914. 31And the mouthH6310 of it withinH1004 the capitalH3805 and aboveH4605 was a cubitH520: but the mouthH6310 of it was roundH5696 after the workH4639 of the baseH3653, a cubitH520 and an halfH2677: and also upon the mouthH6310 of it were carvingsH4734 with their bordersH4526, foursquareH7251, not roundH5696. 32And underH8478 the bordersH4526 were fourH702 wheelsH212; and the axlesH3027 of the wheelsH212 were joined to the baseH4350: and the heightH6967 of aH259 wheelH212 was a cubitH520 and halfH2677 a cubitH520.7 33And the workH4639 of the wheelsH212 was like the workH4639 of a chariotH4818 wheelH212: their axlesH3027, and their hubsH1354, and their rimsH2839, and their spokesH2840, were all castH3332. 34And there were fourH702 supportsH3802 to the fourH702 cornersH6438 of oneH259 baseH4350: and the supportsH3802 were of the very baseH4350 itself. 35And in the topH7218 of the baseH4350 it was perfectly roundH5439H5696 at a heightH6967 of halfH2677 a cubitH520: and on the topH7218 of the baseH4350 its framesH3027 and its bordersH4526 were of the same. 36For on the platesH3871 of its framesH3027, and on its bordersH4526, he engravedH6605 cherubimH3742, lionsH738, and palm treesH8561, according to the proportionH4626 of every oneH376, and additionsH3914 all aroundH5439.8 37After this manner he madeH6213 the tenH6235 basesH4350: all of them had oneH259 castingH4165, oneH259 measureH4060, and oneH259 sizeH7095. 38Then he madeH6213 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 towardH4136 the southH5045.9 40And HiramH2438 madeH6213 the laversH3595, and the shovelsH3257, and the basinsH4219. So HiramH2438 finishedH3615 doingH6213 all the workH4399 that he made forH6213 kingH4428 SolomonH8010 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068:10 41The twoH8147 pillarsH5982, and the two bowlsH1543 of the capitalsH3805 that were on the topH7218 of the twoH8147 pillarsH5982; and the twoH8147 networksH7639, to coverH3680 the twoH8147 bowlsH1543 of the capitalsH3805 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 capitalsH3805 that were uponH6440 the pillarsH5982;11 43And the tenH6235 basesH4350, and tenH6235 laversH3595 on the basesH4350; 44And oneH259 seaH3220, and twelveH8147H6240 oxenH1241 under the seaH3220; 45And the potsH5518, and the shovelsH3257, and the basinsH4219: and all these vesselsH3627, which HiramH2438 madeH6213 to kingH4428 SolomonH8010 for the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068, were of brightH4178 brassH5178.12
