| 12the two pillars and the bowl-shaped capitals that were on top of the two pillars; the two networks covering the two bowl-shaped capitals which were on top of the pillars; | 12the two pillars, the bowls and the two capitals on top of the pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on top of the pillars, |
| 13four hundred pomegranates for the two networks (two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowl-shaped capitals that were on the pillars); | 13and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the pillars. |

| 15one Sea and twelve oxen under it; | 15and the one sea with the twelve oxen under it. |

| 19Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of God: the altar of gold and the tables on which was the showbread; | 19Solomon also made all the things that were in the house of God: even the golden altar, the tables with the bread of the Presence on them, |
| 20the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn in the prescribed manner in front of the inner sanctuary, | 20the lampstands with their lamps of pure gold, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary in the way prescribed; |

| 22the trimmers, the bowls, the ladles, and the censers of pure gold.
