2 Chronicles 4:5 in Context — 2 Chronicles 4

3 Des figures de bœufs l’entouraient au-dessous de son bord, dix par coudée, faisant tout le tour de la mer; les bœufs, disposés sur deux rangs, étaient fondus avec elle en une seule pièce.

4 Elle était posée sur douze bœufs, dont trois tournés vers le nord, trois tournés vers l’occident, trois tournés vers le midi, et trois tournés vers l’orient; la mer était sur eux, et toute la partie postérieure de leur corps était en dedans.

5 Son épaisseur était d’un palme; et son bord, semblable au bord d’une coupe, était façonné en fleur de lis. Elle pouvait contenir trois mille baths.

6 Il fit dix bassins, et il en plaça cinq à droite et cinq à gauche, pour qu’ils servissent aux purifications: on y lavait les diverses parties des holocaustes. La mer était destinée aux ablutions des sacrificateurs.

7 Il fit dix chandeliers d’or, selon l’ordonnance qui les concernait, et il les plaça dans le temple, cinq à droite et cinq à gauche.
