And it receyued & helde the thousande bathes. ⁶ And he made ten lauers: & put fyue on the ryght hande & fyue on the left, to washe with all. And in them they thruste the fleshe of the burntofferynges. But the sea was for the priestes to washe in. ⁷ And he made ten candelstyckes of goulde in the fashyons, and put them in the temple: fyue on the ryghte hand & fyue on the lefte. ⁸ And he made also ten tables, and put them in the temple: fyue on the ryght syde and fyue on the lefte. And he made an hundred basens of goulde. ⁹ And he made the courte of the priestes, and the great courte and dores to it: and ouerlaid the dores of them with brasse. ¹⁰ And he set the sea in the ryghte syde of the East ende, towarde the Southe. ¹¹ And Hyram made pottes, shouelles and basens. And Hyram fynyshed the worcke, he made for kynge Salomon vnto the temple of God, ¹² the two pyllers with their scalpes of the two heades that were on the toppes of the pillers: and the two wrethes to couer the two scalpes of the heades that were on the toppes of the pillers, ¹³ and foure hundred pomegranates for the two wrethes, two rowes of pomegranates for euery wrethe, to couer the two scalpes of the heades that were on the pyllers. ¹⁴ And he made bottomes, and lauers vpon the bottomes, ¹⁵ & the sea wyth twelue oxen vnder it. ¹⁶ And therto pottes, schouelles, flesh hokes, and all theyr vesselles dyd Hyram Abi make for king Salomon for the house of the Lorde, of bright brasse. ¹⁷ In the playne of Iordan dyd the kyng caste them, in the thicke earthe, betwene Socoth & Zaredatha. ¹⁸ And made of all these vesselles so myghty great aboundaunce, that the weight of brasse coulde not be rekened. ¹⁹ And Salomon made all the vesselles that pertayned to the house of God: the goulden aulter and the tables with the shewe breade vpon them, ²⁰ the candelstickes with theyr lampes to burne after the maner before the quere, & that of pure goulde, ²¹ and the floures and the lampes, and the snoffers were goulde, & that perfecte goulde: ²² and the dressynge knyues, basens, spones and censers of pure goulde.
