New Testament

1 Kings 7:32-50 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

32. Four of the wheels were underneath the frames, and the axles of the wheels were on the stands. The height of each wheel was a cubit and a half.

33. The construction of the wheel was like the construction of the wheel of the chariot; their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their naves were all cast.

34. The four supports were the four corners of each stand, with the stand supporting it.

35. On top of the stand was half a cubit deep, circular all around, and on the top of the stand were its supports and its frames.

36. He engraved on the plates, on its supports, and on its frame cherubim, lions and images of a palm tree, according to the space for each, with wreaths all around.

37. He made the ten stands like this in one cast, with the same measurement and shape for each of them.

38. He also made ten bronze basins, each holding forty baths; each basin was four cubits, one basin on each of the ten stands.

39. He placed five of the stands on the south side of the house and five on the north side of the house, and the sea he set on the southeast side of the house.

40. Hiram also made the basins and the shovels and the bowls for drinking wine; and so Hiram finished doing all of the work that he was to do for King Solomon in the house of Yahweh:

41. the two pillars and the bowls of the capitals which were atop the two pillars, and the two lattice works to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were atop the pillars;

42. and the four hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments for the two lattice works, the two rows of pomegranate-shaped ornaments for each latticework to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the surface of the pillars;

43. and the ten stands and the ten basins on the stands;

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

45. and the pots, the shovels, and the bowls for drinking wine. All the vessels of the tent which Hiram had made for King Solomon for the house of Yahweh were polished bronze.

46. The king had cast them in the plain of the Jordan with the casting mold set in the ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

47. Solomon left all of the vessels unweighed because of their very great abundance, so the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

48. Solomon also made all of the vessels which were in the house of Yahweh: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the presence;

49. as well as the five lampstands of beaten gold at the south and five lampstands at the north before the presence of the inner sanctuary, with the flower-shaped ornaments, the lamps, and the pair of tongs all of gold.

50. The cups, the snuffers, the bowls for drinking wine, the bowls for the incense, and the firepans were made from beaten gold; the facades for the doors of the inner house, for the most holy place, for the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.
