1 Kings 7:42-51 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

42. and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two turnings of pomegranates for each network, in order to cover the cords of the heads, which were above the tops of the columns;

43. and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;

44. and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;

45. and the cooking pots, and the trays, and the small hooks. All of the items that Hiram made for king Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of golden brass.

46. In the open regions near the Jordan, the king cast these, in the clay soil between Succoth and Zarethan.

47. And Solomon positioned all the items. But because of its exceedingly great amount, the brass was not weighed.

48. And Solomon made all the furniture for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, and the table of gold, upon which the bread of the presence would be placed;

49. and the gold lampstands, five to the right, and five to the left, opposite the oracle, of pure gold; and likenesses of lily blossoms, with lamps above them, of gold; and gold tongs;

50. and waters pots, and little forks, and bowls, and little mortars, and censers, of the purest gold; and the hinges of the doors, for the interior house of the Holy of Holies and for the doors of the house of the temple, which were of gold.

51. And Solomon perfected all the work that he was doing in the house of the Lord. And he brought in the things that his father David had sanctified: the silver, and the gold, and the vessels. And he stored these in the treasuries of the house of the Lord.
