旧约 - 历代记下（2 Chronicles）第4章
| He made a bronze altar twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high. |
| He made the Sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it. |
| Below the rim, figures of bulls encircled it--ten to a cubit. The bulls were cast in two rows in one piece with the Sea. |
| The Sea stood on twelve bulls, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south and three facing east. The Sea rested on top of them, and their hindquarters were toward the center. |
| It was a handbreadth in thickness, and its rim was like the rim of a cup, like a lily blossom. It held three thousand baths. |
| He then made ten basins for washing and placed five on the south side and five on the north. In them the things to be used for the burnt offerings were rinsed, but the Sea was to be used by the priests for washing. |
| He made ten gold lampstands according to the specifications for them and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. |
| He made ten tables and placed them in the temple, five on the south side and five on the north. He also made a hundred gold sprinkling bowls. |
| He made the courtyard of the priests, and the large court and the doors for the court, and overlaid the doors with bronze. |
| He placed the Sea on the south side, at the southeast corner. |
| He also made the pots and shovels and sprinkling bowls. So Huram finished the work he had undertaken for King Solomon in the temple of God: |
| the two pillars; the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars; the two sets of network decorating the two bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars; |
| the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the pillars); |
| the stands with their basins; |
| the Sea and the twelve bulls under it; |
| the pots, shovels, meat forks and all related articles. All the objects that Huram-Abi made for King Solomon for the temple of the LORD were of polished bronze. |
| The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan. |
| All these things that Solomon made amounted to so much that the weight of the bronze was not determined. |
| Solomon also made all the furnishings that were in God's temple: the golden altar; the tables on which was the bread of the Presence; |
| the lampstands of pure gold with their lamps, to burn in front of the inner sanctuary as prescribed; |
| the gold floral work and lamps and tongs (they were solid gold); |
| the pure gold wick trimmers, sprinkling bowls, dishes and censers; and the gold doors of the temple: the inner doors to the Most Holy Place and the doors of the main hall. |

第 4 章
代下 4:2-6> 建殿，好！但何要这么大？器物何要这么多？
4:2-6 圣殿陈设的各样器物，为什么要制造得如此宏大、又多？因为将有大群人来守节（像逾越节，见 30:13 ），每天所献的祭牲众多（ 5:6 ），需要许多祭司，也需要大量器物。
代下 4:7> 昔日的工匠细心建造圣殿，我在照神吩咐做时，是否也一丝不苟？
4:7 制造圣殿器物的巧匠，小心翼翼地依照神的吩咐去做，产生了良好的效果，神赐下明确的指示，他们就遵行到底。尽管有时我们有创意、有自己的见地，却不可因而违背神在圣经中的明文规定。要你的灵命保持最佳状态，你就要小心寻求，并遵从神的吩咐。
代下 4:11-16> 今天我们在敬拜中运用了什么器材或技巧？这些东西是否真的在辅助我去敬拜神？
4:11-16 昔日为圣殿中作敬拜用途而造的盆、铲和碗，我们不甚熟悉。今天我们敬拜所用的器物虽已改变，但敬拜的目的却是古今皆同──将尊荣颂赞献给神。我们切不可让敬拜神之器物压过了对祂的敬拜。
代下 4:22> 圣殿──拆毁──重建，对神的敬拜生活是否也需要重建？
4:22 圣殿中一切细则，都显示以色列人对敬拜条例小心翼翼、不敢怠慢轻忽（参 3:1-17 的注释）。对昔日历代志下的读者和后来重建圣殿的人来说，这些吩咐也是敬拜的指引。旧殿被巴比伦人焚毁（参王下 25:9 ），后人就依照所罗门建造的圣殿样式，在它的旧址上重建新殿（参拉 3:8-6:15 ）。──《灵修版圣经注释》
历代志下第四章
殿内的设备（四 1 ～ 22 ）
圣殿里的设备是多方面的，我们尝试了解多一点：
．铜坛（ 1 ）──是仿效旷野时期作的祭坛而造的，但体积较大，以便容纳更多祭牲。
．海与及盆（ 2 ～ 6 ）──海的作用主要与礼仪上的洁净有关。十二铜牛象征了以色列十二支派，他们都是神的仆人。铜牛东南西北的摆放，提醒他们在旷野时怎样安排营地以便神带领他们进入应许之地。
．金灯台、桌及金碗（ 7 ～ 8 ）──“所定的样式”可能是指摩西时期会幕的做法，也可能是指大卫先前告诉所罗门建殿的样式。桌子的用处，多数是用作摆放金灯台；但也可能为陈设饼而设。金碗则用作盛载祭牲的血。
．祭司院和大院（ 9 ）──这两院是不同的。前者也可称作内院，只限祭司进入；后者则可称外院，一般子民皆可去。
．其他设备（ 10 ～ 18 ）──有重复先前所讲的，但也有一些是新介绍的器具。盆（ 16 ）用作煮献祭的肉，铲子可处理灰烬，而肉锸子则用作处理祭肉。
．各种设备总摘要（ 19 ～ 22 ）──金坛用作烧香。陈设饼的桌子有“众数”的意思，但相信只有一张是摆放陈设饼用的。这里再次强调“金”在各样物件上的使用，目的是指出圣殿的荣耀。
所罗门十分重视圣殿敬拜的生活，故此殿内的设备他都细心安排、装饰及制造。这是敬畏神的一种表现。今天，我们的身体就是神的殿，我们有否作最好最细心的安排，来参与主日的敬拜生活呢？在敬拜神的时候，我敬畏神的程度够不够，还是经常内心散漫呢？
思想 我有没有在礼拜六晚上就开始预备身、心、灵，来参加主日的敬拜生活呢？──《新旧约辅读》

注释
四 1-11 上 家具陈设
重点也在于建造的原则。正如会幕与圣殿都在圣所中有幔子，两者同样必须摆设祭坛（ 1 节）。从前的祭坛长宽为五肘，高三肘（出三十八 1-2 ）；现在的祭坛则长宽为二十肘，高十肘。
从圣殿出来，人首先留意到的是祭坛。跟着是「铜海」（ 2-5 节），这海是放在一边的（ 10 节）；其后是看见 10 个洗濯盆（ 6 节）；转身回望圣所，会看见 10 个灯台（ 7 节）和 10 张桌子（ 8 节）。会幕里只有上述陈设各一件，而历代志作者在别处也有类似的说法（代下十三 11 ）；因此，犹太传统认为圣殿里有新的陈设各 10 件，也有旧的陈设各一件。
