6 And he made ten basins. And he set five on the south and five on the north in which to wash; they washed off the work of the burnt offering in them, but the sea was for the priests to wash therein.
7 And he made ten golden lampstands according to their custom, and he set them in the temple, five on the south and five on the north.
8 And he made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south and five on the north. And he made a hundred drinking bowls of gold.
9 And he made the courtyard of the priests and the great outer courtyard and the doors for the outer court. And he overlaid their doors with bronze.
