rr Huram also made the boilers, and shovels, and basons. Thus Horam completed the whole of the work which he had to do for King Solomon, at the House of GOD. 12 The two Columns; and the Vases, and the Diadems on the top of the two Columns; and the the two net- works covering the two vases of the Diadems which were on the top of the Columns. 13 And the fourhundred pomegranates, interwoven row by row separately to corer the two Vases which were on the heads of the Columns; 14 And the bases, and the levers upon the bases; 15 The Single Sea, and the twelve bullocks under it ; 16 With the boilers, and the shovels, and fleslrhooks; Hurem, along with his father, made all these appliances of bright brass for the House of the Evan-Lrvmo, for King Solomon. x8 20 21 22 And he modelled them for the King

in the stiff clay district of the jordan, in the ground between Sukoth, and Zeredah. And Solomon made all these things

in very great quantities, for he did not weigh out his brass. Solomon also made all the furni~

ture ofthe House ofthe Even-r.1vrNG, and the Golden Altar, and the Tables, upon which the Sl10w~bread was; with the Lamps to be burnt as Decreed before the Pulpit of pure Gold. With the cups, and lamps, and tongs, of gold, it was perfect Gold ,; and the snuffers, and basons, and spoons, and iire·pans of pure Gold; and the doors of the House, with their Eaves at the inner doors of the Holy of Holies;——·and the doors of the structure of the 'I`emple·of Gold.

the House of the Evnnmrvmo was Enished, Solomon brought in the Consecrations of his father David, both the Silver and Gold, and all the furniture he gave to the Treasury of the House of GOD. And Solomon convoked for this purpose, the Magis- the Tribes, and the Ancestral Princes ofthe Children of Israel, to jerusalem, to carry up the Ark of the Covenant of the Evan-1.1vmc from the City of David,—which is Zion. The King 3 also invited every person in Israel to the Festival that occurs in the seventh month.-—Al1 the Magistracy 4 of Israel consequently came,-——but the Levites carried the Ark. The 5 Levites also brought up the Tent of Assembly, and all the sacred furni- ture that was in the Tent, the Levi- tical Priests carrying them. Then King Solomon, and all the 6 Representatives of Israel, who were assembled with him before the Ark, sacrificed sheep, and oxen without number, and not estimated for quantity. The Priests then brought the Ark 7 of the Covenant of the EVER-LIVING, to its place at the Pulpit of the House, to the Holy of Holies, under the Canopyof the Kerubim ;—for the 8 Kerubim spread their wings over the place for the Ark, so that Kerubim covered the Ark, and its Staves, from above. But the Staves projected, 9 and the ends of the Staves were seen from the Ark, at the front of the Pu1pit,·——-but not seen beyond ;—(and they were there permanently ;)—there rc was nothing in the Ark except the two slabs which Moses deposited at Horeb, when the EVER·L1V1NG made a Covenant with the People of Israel on bringing them out from the Mitzeraim. When this was done, and all the

Priests came out from the Sanctuary, for all the Priests had been brought

to the Sanctuary,-—·they were not separated;-—and the singing LeviteS, and Asaph, and Heyman, and

jeduthun, and their sons, and com·· panions, clothed in linen, with Cymbals, and lutes, and harps, stood by the Altar, with a hundred and twenty Priests sounding their trum· pets,—-with the trumpeters and singers in unison,—-- proclaimed with one voice, praise and thanks to the EvER—L1v1NG. And when the sound of the trumpets, and Cymbals, and all the instruments of song arose, with the,--· Praise the LORD for His Goodness, the House was filled by a Cloud, the

trates of Israel, and all the Chiefs of ' House of the EvBR~L1v1NG. so that 0*76 II I2
