The Bible, Douay-Rheims, Book 14: 2 Paralipomenon: The Challoner Revision
Bible. Chronicles, 2nd
3:9. He made also nails of gold, and the weight of every nail was fifty
sicles: the upper chambers also he overlaid with gold.
3:10. He made also in the house of the holy of holies two cherubims of
image work: and he overlaid them with gold.
3:11. The wings of the cherubims were extended twenty cubits, so that
one wing was five cubits long, and reached to the wall of the house: and
the other was also five cubits long, and reached to the wing of the
other cherub.
3:12. In like manner the wing of the other cherub, was five cubits long,
and reached to the wall: and his other wing was five cubits long, and
touched the wing of the other cherub.
3:13. So the wings of the two cherubims were spread forth, and were
extended twenty cubits: and they stood upright on their feet, and their
faces were turned toward the house without.
3:14. He made also a veil of violet, purple, scarlet, and silk: and
wrought in it cherubims.
3:15. He made also before the doors of the temple two pillars, which
were five and thirty cubits high: and their chapiters were five cubits.
3:16. He made also as it were little chains in the oracle, and he put
them on the heads of the pillars: and a hundred pomegranates, which he
put between the little chains.
3:17. These pillars he put at the entrance of the temple, one on the
right hand, and the other on the left: that which was on the right hand,
he called Jachin: and that on the left hand, Booz.
2 Paralipomenon Chapter 4
The altar of brass, the molten sea upon twelve oxen, the ten loaves, the
candlesticks and other vessels and ornaments of the temple.
4:1. He made also an altar of brass twenty cubits long, and twenty
cubits broad, and ten cubits high.
4:2. Also a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in
compass: it was five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits compassed
it round about.
4:3. And under it there was the likeness of oxen, and certain engravings
on the outside of ten cubits compassed the belly of the sea, as it were
with two rows.
4:4. And the oxen were cast: and the sea itself was set upon the twelve
oxen, three of which looked toward the north, and other three toward the
west: and other three toward the south, and the other three that
remained toward the east, and the sea stood upon them: and the hinder
parts of the oxen were inward under the sea.
4:5. Now the thickness of it was a handbreadth, and the brim of it was
like the brim of a cup, or of a crisped lily: and it held three thousand
measures.
4:6. He made also ten lavers: and he set five on the right hand, and
five on the left, to wash in them all such things as they were to offer
for holocausts: but the sea was for the priests to wash in.
4:7. And he made ten golden candlesticks, according to the form which
they were commanded to be made by: and he set them in the temple, five
on the right hand, and five on the left.
