Melachim I 7:40-7:50

ז:מ   וַיַּעַשׂ חִירוֹם--אֶת-הַכִּיֹּרוֹת, וְאֶת-הַיָּעִים וְאֶת-הַמִּזְרָקוֹת; וַיְכַל חִירָם, לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת-כָּל-הַמְּלָאכָה, אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה לַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה, בֵּית יקוק.7:40 And Hiram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram made an end of doing all the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of the LORD:
מא   עַמֻּדִים שְׁנַיִם, וְגֻלֹּת הַכֹּתָרֹת אֲשֶׁר-עַל-רֹאשׁ הָעַמּוּדִים שְׁתָּיִם; וְהַשְּׂבָכוֹת שְׁתַּיִם--לְכַסּוֹת אֶת-שְׁתֵּי גֻּלּוֹת הַכֹּתָרֹת, אֲשֶׁר עַל-רֹאשׁ הָעַמּוּדִים.41 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;
מב   וְאֶת-הָרִמֹּנִים אַרְבַּע מֵאוֹת, לִשְׁתֵּי הַשְּׂבָכוֹת--שְׁנֵי-טוּרִים רִמֹּנִים, לַשְּׂבָכָה הָאֶחָת, לְכַסּוֹת אֶת-שְׁתֵּי גֻּלּוֹת הַכֹּתָרֹת, אֲשֶׁר עַל-פְּנֵי הָעַמּוּדִים.42 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 upon the top of the pillars;
מג   וְאֶת-הַמְּכֹנוֹת, עָשֶׂר; וְאֶת-הַכִּיֹּרֹת עֲשָׂרָה, עַל-הַמְּכֹנוֹת.43 and the ten bases, and the ten lavers on the bases;
מד   וְאֶת-הַיָּם, הָאֶחָד; וְאֶת-הַבָּקָר שְׁנֵים-עָשָׂר, תַּחַת הַיָּם.44 and the one sea, and the twelve oxen under the sea;
מה   וְאֶת-הַסִּירוֹת וְאֶת-הַיָּעִים וְאֶת-הַמִּזְרָקוֹת, וְאֵת כָּל-הַכֵּלִים האהל (הָאֵלֶּה), אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה חִירָם לַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה, בֵּית יקוק--נְחֹשֶׁת, מְמֹרָט.45 and the pots, and the shovels, and the basins; even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in the house of the LORD, were of burnished brass.
מו   בְּכִכַּר הַיַּרְדֵּן יְצָקָם הַמֶּלֶךְ, בְּמַעֲבֵה הָאֲדָמָה, בֵּין סֻכּוֹת, וּבֵין צָרְתָן.46 In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.
מז   וַיַּנַּח שְׁלֹמֹה אֶת-כָּל-הַכֵּלִים, מֵרֹב מְאֹד מְאֹד--לֹא נֶחְקַר, מִשְׁקַל הַנְּחֹשֶׁת.47 And Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because they were exceeding many; the weight of the brass could not be found out.
מח   וַיַּעַשׂ שְׁלֹמֹה--אֵת כָּל-הַכֵּלִים, אֲשֶׁר בֵּית יקוק:  אֵת, מִזְבַּח הַזָּהָב, וְאֶת-הַשֻּׁלְחָן אֲשֶׁר עָלָיו לֶחֶם הַפָּנִים, זָהָב.48 And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of the LORD: the golden altar, and the table whereupon the showbread was, of gold;
מט   וְאֶת-הַמְּנֹרוֹת חָמֵשׁ מִיָּמִין וְחָמֵשׁ מִשְּׂמֹאול, לִפְנֵי הַדְּבִיר--זָהָב סָגוּר; וְהַפֶּרַח וְהַנֵּרֹת וְהַמֶּלְקַחַיִם, זָהָב.49 and the candlesticks, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the Sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, and the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;
נ   וְהַסִּפּוֹת וְהַמְזַמְּרוֹת וְהַמִּזְרָקוֹת, וְהַכַּפּוֹת וְהַמַּחְתּוֹת--זָהָב סָגוּר; וְהַפֹּתוֹת לְדַלְתוֹת הַבַּיִת הַפְּנִימִי לְקֹדֶשׁ הַקֳּדָשִׁים, לְדַלְתֵי הַבַּיִת לַהֵיכָל--זָהָב. 50 and the cups, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the pans, 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, that is, of the temple, of gold.
