“Solomon, I have worked hard making plans for building the Lord’s temple. {\cf2\super [238]} I have given 3,750 tons {\cf2\super [239]} of gold. And I have given about 37,500 tons {\cf2\super [240]} of silver. I have given so much bronze and iron that it can’t be weighed. And I have given wood and stone. Solomon, you can add to them.
I have done my best to make plans to build my God’s temple. {\cf2\super [312]} I have given gold for the things made of gold. I have given silver for the things made of silver. I have given bronze for the things made of bronze. I have given iron for the things made of iron. I have given wood for the things made of wood. I have also given onyx {\cf2\super [313]} stones for the settings, {\cf2\super [314]} mosaic tiles, {\cf2\super [315]} all kinds of valuable stones in many different colors, and white marble stones. I have given many, many of these things for the building of the Lord’s temple.
These are the things they gave for God’s house: 190 tons {\cf2\super [318]} of gold; 375 tons {\cf2\super [319]} of silver; 675 tons {\cf2\super [320]} of bronze; and 3,750 tons {\cf2\super [321]} of iron.
Solomon made so many of these things that no person tried to weigh the bronze used.
The two pillars, the Sea and the twelve bronze bulls under it, and the moveable stands were very heavy. King Solomon had made those things for the Lord’s temple. The bronze that those things were made of was so heavy it could not be weighed.
