1 Kings 7:40-47

New International Version

⁴⁰He also made the pots^[a] and shovels and sprinkling bowls.^(A)

So Huram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of the Lord:

⁴¹the two pillars;

the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

⁴²the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network decorating the bowl-shaped capitals^(B) on top of the pillars);

⁴³the ten stands with their ten basins;

⁴⁴the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

⁴⁵the pots, shovels and sprinkling bowls.^(C)

All these objects that Huram^(D) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of burnished bronze. ⁴⁶The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain^(E) of the Jordan between Sukkoth^(F) and Zarethan.^(G) ⁴⁷Solomon left all these things unweighed,^(H) because there were so many;^(I) the weight of the bronze^(J) was not determined.

New International Version

¹¹And Huram also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls.

So Huram finished^(A) the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of God:

¹²the two pillars;

the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars;

¹³the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars);

¹⁴the stands^(B) with their basins;

¹⁵the Sea and the twelve bulls under it;

¹⁶the pots, shovels, meat forks and all related articles.

All the objects that Huram-Abi^(C) made for King Solomon for the temple of the Lord were of polished bronze. ¹⁷The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Sukkoth^(D) and Zarethan.^[a] ¹⁸All these things that Solomon made amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze^(E) could not be calculated.
