II Chronicles 4 · דברי הימים ב

1

וַיַּ֙עַשׂ֙ מִזְבַּ֣ח נְחֹ֔שֶׁת עֶשְׂרִ֤ים אַמָּה֙ אׇרְכּ֔וֹ וְעֶשְׂרִ֥ים אַמָּ֖ה רׇחְבּ֑וֹ וְעֶ֥שֶׂר אַמּ֖וֹת קוֹמָתֽוֹ׃ {ס}

And he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits its length, and twenty cubits its breadth, and ten cubits its height.

2

וַיַּ֥עַשׂ אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם מוּצָ֑ק עֶ֣שֶׂר בָּ֠אַמָּ֠ה מִשְּׂפָת֨וֹ אֶל־שְׂפָת֜וֹ עָג֣וֹל ׀ סָבִ֗יב וְחָמֵ֤שׁ בָּֽאַמָּה֙ קוֹמָת֔וֹ וְקָו֙ שְׁלֹשִׁ֣ים בָּאַמָּ֔ה יָסֹ֥ב אֹת֖וֹ סָבִֽיב׃

Also he made a molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and five cubits its height; and a line of thirty cubits did circle it round about.

3

וּדְמ֣וּת בְּקָרִים֩ תַּ֨חַת ל֜וֹ סָבִ֤יב ׀ סָבִיב֙ סוֹבְבִ֣ים אֹת֔וֹ עֶ֚שֶׂר בָּֽאַמָּ֔ה מַקִּיפִ֥ים אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם סָבִ֑יב שְׁנַ֤יִם טוּרִים֙ הַבָּקָ֔ר יְצוּקִ֖ים בְּמֻצַקְתּֽוֹ׃

And under it was the likeness of oxen, which did circle it round about: ten in a cubit, compassing the sea round about. Two rows of oxen were cast with it, when it was cast.

4

עוֹמֵ֞ד עַל־שְׁנֵ֧ים עָשָׂ֣ר בָּקָ֗ר שְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה פֹנִ֣ים ׀ צָפ֡וֹנָה וּשְׁלוֹשָׁה֩ פֹנִ֨ים ׀ יָ֜מָּה וּשְׁלֹשָׁ֣ה ׀ פֹּנִ֣ים נֶ֗גְבָּה וּשְׁלֹשָׁה֙ פֹּנִ֣ים מִזְרָ֔חָה וְהַיָּ֥ם עֲלֵיהֶ֖ם מִלְמָ֑עְלָה וְכׇל־אֲחֹרֵיהֶ֖ם בָּֽיְתָה׃

It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking towards the north, and three looking towards the west, and three looking towards the south, and three looking towards the east: and the sea was set above upon them, and all their hinder parts were inward.

5

וְעׇבְי֣וֹ טֶ֔פַח וּשְׂפָתוֹ֙ כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה שְׂפַת־כּ֔וֹס פֶּ֖רַח שׁוֹשַׁנָּ֑ה מַחֲזִ֣יק בַּתִּ֔ים שְׁלֹ֥שֶׁת אֲלָפִ֖ים יָכִֽיל׃ {ס}

And the thickness of it was a handbreadth, and the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, like the petals of a lily; and it received and contained three thousand bats.

6

וַיַּ֣עַשׂ כִּיּוֹרִים֮ עֲשָׂרָה֒ וַ֠יִּתֵּ֠ן חֲמִשָּׁ֨ה מִיָּמִ֜ין וַחֲמִשָּׁ֤ה מִשְּׂמֹאול֙ לְרׇחְצָ֣ה בָהֶ֔ם אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה הָעוֹלָ֖ה יָדִ֣יחוּ בָ֑ם וְהַיָּ֕ם לְרׇחְצָ֥ה לַכֹּהֲנִ֖ים בּֽוֹ׃ {ס}

He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them: such things as belonged to the burnt offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

7

וַ֠יַּ֠עַשׂ אֶת־מְנֹר֧וֹת הַזָּהָ֛ב עֶ֖שֶׂר כְּמִשְׁפָּטָ֑ם וַיִּתֵּן֙ בַּֽהֵיכָ֔ל חָמֵ֥שׁ מִיָּמִ֖ין וְחָמֵ֥שׁ מִשְּׂמֹֽאול׃ {ס}

And he made ten candlesticks of gold according to their prescribed form, and set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

8

וַיַּ֣עַשׂ שֻׁלְחָנוֹת֮ עֲשָׂרָה֒ וַיַּנַּח֙ בַּהֵיכָ֔ל חֲמִשָּׁ֥ה מִיָּמִ֖ין וַחֲמִשָּׁ֣ה מִשְּׂמֹ֑אול וַיַּ֛עַשׂ מִזְרְקֵ֥י זָהָ֖ב מֵאָֽה׃ {ס}

He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold.

9

וַיַּ֙עַשׂ֙ חֲצַ֣ר הַכֹּהֲנִ֔ים וְהָעֲזָרָ֖ה הַגְּדוֹלָ֑ה וּדְלָת֧וֹת לָעֲזָרָ֛ה וְדַלְתוֹתֵיהֶ֖ם צִפָּ֥ה נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃

And he made the court of the priests, and the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with brass.

10

וְאֶת־הַיָּ֗ם נָתַ֞ן מִכֶּ֧תֶף הַיְמָנִ֛ית קֵ֖דְמָה מִמּ֥וּל נֶֽגְבָּה׃

And he set the sea on the right side of the east end, over against the south.

11

וַיַּ֣עַשׂ חוּרָ֔ם אֶ֨ת־הַסִּיר֔וֹת וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֖ים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְרָק֑וֹת וַיְכַ֣ל (חירם) [חוּרָ֗ם] לַעֲשׂוֹת֙ אֶת־הַמְּלָאכָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשָׂ֛ה לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה בְּבֵ֥ית הָאֱלֹהִֽים׃

And Ḥuram made the pans, and the shovels, and the basins. And Ḥuram finished the work that he was to do for king Shelomo for the house of God;

12

עַמּוּדִ֣ים שְׁנַ֔יִם וְהַגֻּלּ֧וֹת וְהַכֹּתָר֛וֹת עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָעַמּוּדִ֖ים שְׁתָּ֑יִם וְהַשְּׂבָכ֣וֹת שְׁתַּ֔יִם לְכַסּ֗וֹת אֶת־שְׁתֵּי֙ גֻּלּ֣וֹת הַכֹּתָר֔וֹת אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־רֹ֥אשׁ הָעַמּוּדִֽים׃

the two pillars, and the two bowls, with the capitals that were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars;

13

וְאֶת־הָרִמּוֹנִ֛ים אַרְבַּ֥ע מֵא֖וֹת לִשְׁתֵּ֣י הַשְּׂבָכ֑וֹת שְׁנַ֨יִם טוּרִ֤ים רִמּוֹנִים֙ לַשְּׂבָכָ֣ה הָאֶחָ֔ת לְכַסּ֗וֹת אֶת־שְׁתֵּי֙ גֻּלּ֣וֹת הַכֹּתָר֔וֹת אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָעַמּוּדִֽים׃

and four hundred pomegranates on the two wreathen chains; two rows of pomegranates on each wreath, to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were upon the pillars.

14

וְאֶת־הַמְּכֹנ֖וֹת עָשָׂ֑ה וְאֶת־הַכִּיֹּר֥וֹת עָשָׂ֖ה עַל־הַמְּכֹנֽוֹת׃

He made also bases, and he made lavers upon the bases;

15

אֶת־הַיָּ֖ם אֶחָ֑ד וְאֶת־הַבָּקָ֥ר שְׁנֵים־עָשָׂ֖ר תַּחְתָּֽיו׃

one sea, and twelve oxen under it.

16

וְאֶת־הַ֠סִּיר֠וֹת וְאֶת־הַיָּעִ֤ים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְלָגוֹת֙ וְאֶת־כׇּל־כְּלֵיהֶ֔ם עָשָׂ֞ה חוּרָ֥ם אָבִ֛יו לַמֶּ֥לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֖ה לְבֵ֣ית יְהֹוָ֑ה נְחֹ֖שֶׁת מָרֽוּק׃

The pans also, and the shovels, and the forks, and all their instruments, did Ḥuram his father make for king Shelomo for the house of the Lord of burnished brass.

17

בְּכִכַּ֤ר הַיַּרְדֵּן֙ יְצָקָ֣ם הַמֶּ֔לֶךְ בַּעֲבִ֖י הָאֲדָמָ֑ה בֵּ֥ין סֻכּ֖וֹת וּבֵ֥ין צְרֵדָֽתָה׃

In the plain of the Yarden did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Sukkot and Żeredata.

18

וַיַּ֧עַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹ֛ה כׇּל־הַכֵּלִ֥ים הָאֵ֖לֶּה לָרֹ֣ב מְאֹ֑ד כִּ֛י לֹ֥א נֶחְקַ֖ר מִשְׁקַ֥ל הַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃ {ס}

Thus Shelomo made all these vessels in great abundance: for the weight of the brass was not found out.

19

וַיַּ֣עַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה אֵ֚ת כׇּל־הַכֵּלִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר בֵּ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים וְאֵת֙ מִזְבַּ֣ח הַזָּהָ֔ב וְאֶ֨ת־הַשֻּׁלְחָנ֔וֹת וַעֲלֵיהֶ֖ם לֶ֥חֶם הַפָּנִֽים׃

And Shelomo made all the vessels that belonged to the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables upon which the showbread was set;

20

וְאֶת־הַמְּנֹר֞וֹת וְנֵרֹֽתֵיהֶ֗ם לְבַעֲרָ֧ם כַּמִּשְׁפָּ֛ט לִפְנֵ֥י הַדְּבִ֖יר זָהָ֥ב סָגֽוּר׃

and the candlesticks with their lamps, that they should burn after the prescribed form before the inner sanctuary of pure gold;

21

וְהַפֶּ֧רַח וְהַנֵּר֛וֹת וְהַמֶּלְקַחַ֖יִם זָהָ֑ב ה֖וּא מִכְל֥וֹת זָהָֽב׃

and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold, and that perfect gold;

22

וְהַֽמְזַמְּר֧וֹת וְהַמִּזְרָק֛וֹת וְהַכַּפּ֥וֹת וְהַמַּחְתּ֖וֹת זָהָ֣ב סָג֑וּר וּפֶ֣תַח הַ֠בַּ֠יִת דַּלְתוֹתָ֨יו הַפְּנִימִיּ֜וֹת לְקֹ֣דֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁ֗ים וְדַלְתֵ֥י הַבַּ֛יִת לַֽהֵיכָ֖ל זָהָֽב׃

and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and the firepans, of pure gold: and the entry of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place, and the doors of the outer house, namely the temple, were of gold.
