1 Kings

1 Kings 7:47–50

⁴⁷Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.

⁴⁸Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of the LORD:

the golden altar;

the golden table on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;

⁴⁹the lampstands of pure gold in front of the inner sanctuary, five on the right side and five on the left;

the gold flowers, lamps, and tongs;

⁵⁰the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, ladles, and censers;

and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the Most Holy Place^x) as well as for the doors of the main hall of the temple.
