LXX Brenton's Greek Septuagint

WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)

1 Καὶ ἐποίησε θυσιαστήριον χαλκοῦν, εἴκοσι πήχεων τὸ μῆκος, καὶ εἴκοσι πήχεων τὸ εὖρος, καὶ δέκα πήχεων τὸ ὕψος.

1 Then he made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.

2 Καὶ ἐποίησε τὴν θάλασσαν χυτὴν, δέκα πήχεων τὴν διαμέτρησιν, στρογγύλην κυκλόθεν, καὶ πέντε πήχεων τὸ ὕψος, καὶ τὸ κύκλωμα τριάκοντα πήχεων.

2 Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim. It was round, five cubits high, and thirty cubits in circumference.

3 Καὶ ὁμοίωμα μόσχων ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς, κύκλῳ κυκλοῦσιν αὐτήν· δέκα πήχεις περιέχουσι τὸν λουτῆρα κυκλόθεν· δύο γένη ἐχώνευσαν τοὺς μόσχους ἐν τῇ χωνεύσει αὐτῶν

3 Under it was the likeness of oxen, which encircled it, for ten cubits, encircling the sea. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

4 ᾗ ἐποίησαν αὐτοὺς δώδεκα μόσχους, οἱ τρεῖς βλέποντες Βοῤῥᾶν, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς δυσμὰς, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς Νότον, καὶ οἱ τρεῖς κατʼ ἀνατολὰς, καὶ ἡ θάλασσα ἐπʼ αὐτῶν ἄνω, ἦσαν τὰ ὀπίσθια αὐτῶν ἔσω.

4 It stood on twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, three looking toward the west, three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set on them above, and all their hindquarters were inward.

5 Καὶ τὸ πάχος αὐτῆς παλαιστὴς, καὶ τὸ χεῖλος αὐτῆς ὡς χεῖλος ποτηρίου, διαγεγλυμμένα βλαστοὺς κρίνου, χωροῦσαν μετρητὰς τρισχιλίους· καὶ ἐξετέλεσε.

5 It was a handbreadth thick. Its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It received and held three thousand baths.

6 Καὶ ἐποίησε λουτῆρας δέκα, καὶ ἔθηκε 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.

6 He also made ten basins, and put five on the right hand and five on the left, to wash in them. The things that belonged to the burnt offering were washed in them, but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

7 Καὶ ἐποίησε τὰς λυχνίας τὰς χρυσᾶς δέκα κατὰ τὸ κρίμα αὐτῶν, καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ, πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ πέντε ἐξ ἀριστερῶν.

7 He made the ten lamp stands of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand and five on the left.

8 Καὶ ἐποίησε τραπέζας δέκα, καὶ ἔθηκεν ἐν τῷ ναῷ, πέντε ἐκ δεξιῶν καὶ πέντε ἐξ εὐωνύμων, καὶ ἐποίησε φιάλας χρυσᾶς ἑκατὸν,

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

9 καὶ ἐποίησε τὴν αὐλὴν τῶν ἱερέων, καὶ τὴν αὐλὴν τὴν μεγάλην, καὶ θύρας τῇ αὐλῇ, καὶ θυρώματα αὐτῶν κατακεχαλκωμένα χαλκῷ.

9 Furthermore he made the court of the priests, the great court, and doors for the court, and overlaid their doors with bronze.

10 Καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν ἔθηκεν ἀπὸ γωνίας τοῦ οἴκου ἐκ δεξιῶν ὡς πρὸς ἀνατολὰς κατέναντι.

10 He set the sea on the right side of the house eastward, toward the south.

11 Καὶ ἐποίησε Χιρὰμ τὰς κρεάγρας, καὶ τὰ πυρεῖα, καὶ τὴν ἐσχάραν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ· καὶ συνετέλεσε Χιρὰμ ποιῆσαι πᾶσαν τὴν ἐργασίαν ἣν ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν τῷ βασιλεῖ ἐν οἴκῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ,

11 Huram made the pots, the shovels, and the basins. So Huram finished doing the work that he did for King Solomon in God’s house:

12 στύλους δύο, καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν γελὰθ τῇ χωθαρὲθ ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων δύο, καὶ δίκτυα δύο συγκαλύψαι τὰς κεφαλὰς τῶν χωθαρὲθ ἅ ἐστιν ἐπὶ τῶν κεφαλῶν τῶν στύλων,

12 the two pillars, the bowls, the two capitals which were on the top of the pillars, the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars,

13 καὶ κώδωνας χρυσοῦς τετρακοσίους εἰς τὰ δύο δίκτυα, καὶ δύο γένη ῥοΐσκων ἐν τῷ δικτύῳ τῷ ἑνὶ τοῦ συγκαλύψαι τὰς δύο γωλὰθ τῶν χωθαρὲθ ἅ ἐστιν ἐπάνω τῶν στύλων·

13 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.

14 Καὶ τοὺς μεχωνὼθ ἐποίησε δέκα, καὶ τοὺς λουτῆρας ἐποίησεν ἐπὶ τοὺς μεχωνὼθ,

14 He also made the bases, and he made the basins on the bases—

15 καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν μίαν, καὶ τοὺς μόσχους τοὺς δώδεκα ὑποκάτω αὐτῆς,

15 one sea, and the twelve oxen under it.

16 καὶ τοὺς ποδιστῆρας, καὶ τοὺς ἀναλημπτῆρας, καὶ τοὺς λέβητας, καὶ τὰς κρεάγρας, καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτῶν ἃ ἐποίησε Χιρὰμ, καὶ ἀνήνεγκε τῷ βασιλεῖ Σαλωμὼν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου, χαλκοῦ καθαροῦ.

16 Huram-abi also made the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all its vessels for King Solomon, for Yahweh’s house, of bright bronze.

17 Ἐν τῷ περιχώρῳ τοῦ Ἰορδάνου ἐχώνευσεν αὐτὰ ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐν τῷ πάχει τῆς γῆς ἐν οἴκῳ Σοκχὼθ καὶ ἀναμέσον Σαρηδαθά.

17 The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.

18 Καὶ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν πάντα τὰ σκεύη ταῦτα εἰς πλῆθος σφόδρα, ὅτι οὐκ ἐξέλιπεν ὁλκὴ τοῦ χαλκοῦ.

18 Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance, so that the weight of the bronze could not be determined.

19 Καὶ ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν πάντα τὰ σκεύη οἴκου Κυρίου, καὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον τὸ χρυσοῦν, καὶ τὰς τραπέζας, καὶ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν ἄρτοι προθέσεως,

19 Solomon made all the vessels that were in God’s house: the golden altar, the tables with the show bread on them,

20 καὶ τὰς λυχνίας, καὶ τοὺς λύχνους τοῦ φωτὸς κατὰ τὸ κρίμα καὶ κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ δαβὶρ χρυσίου καθαροῦ,

20 and the lamp stands with their lamps to burn according to the ordinance before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold;

21 καὶ λαβίδες αὐτῶν, καὶ οἱ λύχνοι αὐτῶν, καὶ τὰς φιάλας, καὶ τὰς θυΐσκας, καὶ τὰ πυρεῖα χρυσίου καθαροῦ,

21 and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs of gold that was purest gold;

22 καὶ ἡ θύρα τοῦ οἴκου ἡ ἐσωτέρα εἰς τὰ ἅγια τῶν ἁγίων, καὶ τὰς θύρας τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ ναοῦ χρυσᾶς· καὶ συνετελέσθη πᾶσα ἡ ἐργασία ἣν ἐποίησε Σαλωμὼν ἐν οἴκῳ Κυρίου.

22 and the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans of pure gold. As for the entry of the house, its inner doors for the most holy place and the doors of the main hall of the temple were of gold.
