1 Kings 7:40-50

The Temple Furnishings

40 s Hiram also made t the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished all the work that he did for King Solomon on the house of the Lord: 41 the two pillars, the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars, and the two u latticeworks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the tops of the pillars; 42 and the v 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 the ten basins on the stands; 44 and w the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath the sea.

45 Now x the pots, the shovels, and the basins, all these vessels in the house of the Lord, which Hiram made for King Solomon, were of burnished bronze. 46 In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between y Succoth and z Zarethan. 47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them; a the weight of the bronze was not ascertained.

48 So Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the Lord: b the golden altar, c the golden table for d the bread of the Presence, 49 e the lampstands of pure gold, five on the south side and five on the north, before the inner sanctuary; f the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold; 50 the cups, snuffers, basins, dishes for incense, and g fire pans, of pure gold; and the sockets of gold, for the doors of the innermost part of the house, h the Most Holy Place, and for the doors of the nave of the temple.
