ἐποίησεν τὴν θάλασσαν χυτήν πήχεων δέκα τὴν διαμέτρησιν στρογγύλην κυκλόθεν καὶ πήχεων πέντε τὸ ὕψος καὶ τὸ κύκλωμα πήχεων τριάκοντα
And he made the sea cast, ten cubits its diameter, round all around, and five cubits its height, and its circumference thirty cubits.
ὁμοίωμα μόσχων ὑποκάτωθεν αὐτῆς κύκλῳ κυκλοῦσιν αὐτήν πήχεις δέκα περιέχουσιν τὸν λουτῆρα κυκλόθεν δύο γένη ἐχώνευσαν τοὺς μόσχους ἐν τῇ χωνεύσει αὐτῶν
And the likeness of calves was beneath it all around, encircling it; ten cubits encompassed the laver on all sides. Two rows of them cast the calves in their casting.
ἐποίησαν αὐτούς δώδεκα μόσχους οἱ τρεῖς βλέποντες βορρᾶν καὶ οἱ τρεῖς βλέποντες δυσμὰς καὶ οἱ τρεῖς βλέποντες νότον καὶ οἱ τρεῖς βλέποντες κατ᾿ ἀνατολάς καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἄνω ἦσαν τὰ ὀπίσθια αὐτῶν ἔσω
in which they made twelve calves, the three looking toward north, and the three looking toward west, and the three looking toward south, and the three looking toward east; and the sea was upon them above, their hinder parts were inward
τὸ πάχος αὐτῆς παλαιστής καὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτῆς ὡς χεῖλος ποτηρίου διαγεγλυμμένα βλαστοὺς κρίνου χωροῦσαν μετρητὰς τρισχιλίους καὶ ἐξετέλεσεν
And its thickness was a handbreadth, and its rim like the rim of a cup, engraved with lily buds; it held three thousand measures, and he completed it
ἐποίησεν λουτῆρας δέκα καὶ ἔθηκεν τοὺς πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ τοὺς πέντε ἐξ ἀριστερῶν τοῦ πλύνειν ἐν αὐτοῖς τὰ ἔργα τῶν ὁλοκαυτωμάτων καὶ ἀποκλύζειν ἐν αὐτοῖς καὶ ἡ θάλασσα εἰς τὸ νίπτεσθαι τοὺς ἱερεῖς ἐν αὐτῇ
And he made ten basins, and put the five on the right and the five on the left, to wash in them the works of the burnt offerings and to rinse in them; and the sea was for the priests to wash in it.
ἐποίησεν τὰς λυχνίας τὰς χρυσᾶς δέκα κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτῶν καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ πέντε ἐξ ἀριστερῶν
And he made the ten golden lampstands according to their ordinance, and he set them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left.
ἐποίησεν τραπέζας δέκα καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ πέντε ἐξ εὐωνύμων καὶ ἐποίησεν φιάλας χρυσᾶς ἑκατόν
And he made ten tables and set them in the temple, five on the right and five on the left, and he made a hundred golden bowls.
ἐποίησεν τὴν αὐλὴν τῶν ἱερέων καὶ τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν μεγάλην καὶ θύρας τῇ αὐλῇ καὶ θυρώματα αὐτῶν κατακεχαλκωμένα χαλκῷ
And he made the court of the priests and the great court and doors for the court and their doorposts overlaid with bronze with bronze
And he set the sea from the corner of the house on the right, toward the east, opposite it
ἐποίησεν Χιραμ τὰς κρεάγρας καὶ τὰ πυρεῖα καὶ τὴν ἐσχάραν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ καὶ συνετέλεσεν Χιραμ ποιῆσαι πᾶσαν τὴν ἐργασίαν ἣν ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ θεοῦ
And Hiram made the flesh-hooks and the fire-pans and the grate of the altar and all its vessels, and Hiram finished making all the work that he made for King Solomon in the house of God.
δύο καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν γωλαθ τῇ χωθαρεθ ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων δύο καὶ δίκτυα δύο συγκαλύψαι τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν χωθαρεθ ἅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων
two pillars, and on them the bowls and the capitals on the heads of the two pillars, and two nets to cover the capitals that are on the heads of the pillars
κώδωνας χρυσοῦς τετρακοσίους εἰς τὰ δύο δίκτυα καὶ δύο γένη ῥοΐσκων ἐν τῷ δικτύῳ τῷ ἑνὶ τοῦ συγκαλύψαι τὰς δύο γωλαθ τῶν χωθαρεθ ἅ ἐστιν ἐπάνω τῶν στύλων
and four hundred golden bells for the two nets, and two rows of pomegranates in the one net, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that are upon the pillars
And he made the ten stands, and he made the basins upon the stands
and the one sea, and the twelve oxen underneath it
τοὺς ποδιστῆρας καὶ τοὺς ἀναλημπτῆρας καὶ τοὺς λέβητας καὶ τὰς κρεάγρας καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησεν Χιραμ καὶ ἀνήνεγκεν τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμων ἐν οἴκῳ κυρίου χαλκοῦ καθαροῦ
and the stands and the lifting-tools and the cauldrons and the flesh-hooks and all their vessels, which Huram made and brought up to King Solomon in the house of the Lord, of pure bronze
τῷ περιχώρῳ τοῦ Ιορδάνου ἐχώνευσεν αὐτὰ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῷ πάχει τῆς γῆς ἐν οἴκῳ Σοκχωθ καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Σιρδαθα
In the circuit of the Jordan the king cast them, in the thickness of the ground, in the house of Succoth and between Zeredah
And Solomon made all these vessels in very great abundance, because the weighing of the bronze did not fail.
ἐποίησεν Σαλωμων πάντα τὰ σκεύη οἴκου κυρίου καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν καὶ τὰς τραπέζας καὶ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν ἄρτοι προθέσεως
And Solomon made all the vessels of the house of the Lord, and the golden altar, and the tables, and on them the bread of presentation
and the lampstands and the lamps of the light, according to the ordinance and before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold
and their tongs and their lamps and the bowls and the snuffers and the firepans of pure gold
And the door of the inner house, into the holy of holies, and the doors of the house of the temple were gold.
