and on the top of the base the stays of it and the panels
of it were of the same.
007:036 On the plates of the stays of it, and on the panels of it,
he engraved cherubim, lions, and palm trees, according to
the space of each, with wreaths round about.
007:037 After this manner he made the ten bases: all of them had
one casting, one measure, and one form.
007:038 He made ten basins of brass: one basin contained forty baths;
and every basin was four cubits; and on very one of the ten
bases one basin.
007:039 He set the bases, five on the right side of the house,
and five on the left side of the house: and he set the sea
on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.
007:040 Hiram made the basins, and the shovels, and the basins.
So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he worked
for king Solomon in the house of Yahweh:
007:041 the two pillars, and the two bowls of the capitals that were on
the top of the pillars; and the two networks to cover the two
bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;
007:042 and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks;
two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two
bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;
007:043 and the ten bases, and the ten basins on the bases;
007:044 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
007:045 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins:
even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon,
in the house of Yahweh, were of burnished brass.
007:046 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay
ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
007:047 Solomon left all the vessels [unweighed], because they were
exceeding many: the weight of the brass could not be found out.
007:048 Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of Yahweh:
the golden altar, and the table whereupon the show
bread was, of gold;
007:049 and the lampstands, five on the right side, and five on the left,
before the oracle, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps,
and the tongs, of gold;
007:050 and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the spoons,
and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for
the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for
the doors of the house, [to wit], of the temple, of gold.
007:051 Thus all the work that king Solomon worked in the house
of Yahweh was finished. Solomon brought in the things
which David his father had dedicated, [even] the silver,
and the gold, and the vessels, and put them in the treasuries
of the house of Yahweh.
008:001 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads
of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' [houses] of the
