New Testament

2 Chronicles 4:1-10 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Then he made a bronze altar that was twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.

2. And he made a cast metal sea as a water basin. It was round and ten cubits from edge to edge, five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference.

3. Figures like oxen were underneath it, going all the way around the sea basin, ten cubits on each side. There were two rows of oxen that were poured as cast metal.

4. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east. The sea was set on them, and their back sides were facing inward.

5. The thickness of the sea was a palm, and its brim was like the brim of a cup, as the flower of a lily. It held three thousand baths securely.

6. Then he made ten water basins, and he set five on the southern right side and five on the northern left side to rinse off in them the instruments of the burnt offering. And the sea basin was for the priests to wash in.

7. And he made ten lampstands of gold according to the specifications, and he set them in the temple, five on the southern, right side and five on the northern, left side.

8. Then he made ten tables and put them in the temple, five on the southern, right side and five on the northern, left side; and he made a hundred basins of gold.

9. Then he made the court of the priests and the great enclosure and the doors for the enclosure, and he overlaid the doors with bronze.

10. And he set the sea basin at the southeast side, opposite the southern side of the house.
