He made a brasen altare also, twentye
cubytes longe, and twentye cubytes
brode, and ten cubites hye. noteAnd
he made a molten lauer ten cubites wyde fr&obar;
the one syde to the other rounde aboute, and
fyue cubytes hye. And a metelyne of thirtie
cubites mighte comprehende it aboute. And
ymages of Bullockes were vnder it. And
aboute the lauer (which was ten cubites wyde)
there were two rowes of knoppes, þt; were
molten withall.
It stode so vpon the bullockes, that thre
were turned towarde the north, thre towarde
the west, thre towarde the south, and thre
towarde the east, and the lauer aboue vpon
them, and all their hynder partes were on
the ynsyde. The thicknesse of it was an handbredth,
and the edge of it was like the edge
of a cuppe, and as a floured rose. And it conteyned
thre thousande Batthes.
And he made ten kettels, wherof he set fyue
on the righte hande and fyue on the lefte,
to wa&esset;she in them soch thinges as belonged
to the burntofferynge, that they mighte
thrust them therin: but þe; lauer (made he) for
for the prestes to wash in.
B Ten golden candelstickes made he also
as they ought to be, and set them in the temple:
fyue on the righte hande, and fyue on the
lefte. And made ten tables, and set them in
the temple: fyue on the righte hande, and fyue
on the lefte. And made an hundreth basens
of golde. He made a courte likewyse for
the prestes, and a greate courte, and dores in
the courte, and ouerlayed þe; dores with brasse.
And the lauer set he on the righte syde
towarde the south east. And Hiram made
cauldrous, shouels and basens.
So Hiram fynished the worke which he
made for kynge Salomon in the house of
-- --
God: namely the two pilers with the roundels
and knoppes aboue vpon both the pilers,
and both the wrythen ropes to couer
both the roundels of þe; knoppes aboue vp&obar;
the pilers, and the foure hundreth pomgranates
on both the wryth&ebar; ropes, two rowes
of pomgranates on euery rope, to couer the
roundels of the knoppes that were aboue
vpon the pilers.
C He made the stoles also and þe; kettels vpon
the stoles, and a lauer, and twolue bullockes
there vnder. And pottes, shouels, fleshokes,
and all their vessels made Hiram Abif
of pure metall for kynge Salomon vnto the
house of the LORDE. In the coaste of Iordane
dyd the kynge cause them to be molten
in thicke earth betwene Suchoth and Zaredatha.
And Salomon made all these vessels
which were so many, that the weight of þe;
metall was not to be soughte out. And Salomen
made all the ornamentes for the house
of God: namely, the golden altare, the tables
and the shewbreds theron, the candelstickes
with their lampes of pure golde, to
burne before the Quere acordinge to the maner:
and the floures and the lampes and the
snoffers were of golde, all these were of pure
golde.
And the knyues, basens, spones and pottes,
were of pure golde. And the intraunce
and his dores within vnto the Most holy,
and the dores of the house of the temple were
of golde. Thus was all þe; worke fynished,
which Salomon made in the house of the
LORDE.
