New Testament

1 Kings 7:39-51 Modern English Version (MEV)

39. He put five stands on the right side of the house, and five on the left side of the house. He set the sea on the right side of the house toward the southeast.

40. Huram also made the pots, the shovels, and the basins.So Huram finished all the work in making items for King Solomon for use in the house of the Lord:

41. the two pillars, the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars, the two latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were upon the top of the pillars;

42. and the four hundred pomegranates for the two latticeworks, two rows of pomegranates for each latticework, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;

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

44. one sea and twelve oxen under the sea;

45. the pots, the shovels, and the basins.All these vessels that Huram made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord were of burnished bronze.

46. In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Sukkoth and Zarethan.

47. Solomon left all the vessels unweighed because there were so many. The weight of the bronze was also never measured.

48. Solomon made all the vessels that were needed for the house of the Lord: the altar of gold, the table of gold on which was showbread,

49. the candlesticks of pure gold, five on the right side and five on the left before the inner sanctuary; the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

50. the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, fire pans, of pure gold; the sockets for the doors of the innermost part of the house, the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the nave of the temple, of gold.

51. All the work that King Solomon made for the house of the Lord was completed. And Solomon brought in the things which David his father had dedicated—the silver, the gold, and the cups—and he put them among the treasures of the house of the Lord.
