And he made

<02947>_,

and [so] on the outside
<02351>

toward the great
<01419>

<02691>_.

7:10

And the foundation
<03245> (8794)

[was of] costly
<03368>

<02905>

of hewed stones
<01496>_,

<0730>

<03773>_,

<06442>

<02691>

of the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and for the porch
<0197>

of the house
<01004>_.

7:13

<04428>

Solomon
<08010>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and fetched
<03947> (8799)

Hiram
<02438>

out of Tyre
<06865>_.

{Hiram: also called, Huram}

7:14

He [was] a widow's
<0802> <0490>

son
<01121>

of the tribe
<04294>

of Naphtali
<05321>_,

and his father
<01>

[was] a man
<0376>

of Tyre
<06876>_,

a worker
<02790> (8802)

in brass
<05178>_:

and he was filled
<04390> (8735)

with wisdom
<02451>_,

and understanding
<08394>_,

and cunning
<01847>

to work
<06213> (8800)

<04399>

<05178>_.

And he came
<0935> (8799)

to king
<04428>

Solomon
<08010>_,

and wrought
<06213> (8799)

all his work
<04399>_.

<0520>

did compass
<05437> (0)

either
<08145>

of them about
<05437> (8799)_.

{cast: Heb. fashioned}

7:16

And he made
<06213> (8804)

two
<08147>

chapiters
<03805>

[of] molten
<03332> (8716)

brass
<05178>_,

to set
<05414> (8800)

upon the tops
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>_:

<06967>

of the one
<0259>

<03805>

[was] five
<02568>

<0520>_,

and the height
<06967>

of the other
<08145>

[And] nets
<07638>

of checker
<07639>

<04639>_,

and wreaths
<01434>

of chain
<08333>

work
<04639>_,

for the chapiters
<03805>

which [were] upon the top
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>_;

seven
<07651>

for the one
<0259>

chapiter
<03805>_,

and seven
<07651>

for the other
<08145>

chapiter
<03805>_.

7:18

And he made
<06213> (8799)

the pillars
<05982>_,

and two
<08147>

rows
<02905>

round about
<05439>

upon the one
<0259>

network
<07639>_,

to cover
<03680> (8763)

the chapiters
<03805>
