Exegesis
In the second clause, the verb asah {עָשָׂה | ʿā-śāh} ‘he made’ with shlomo {שְׁלֹמֹה | šəl-ō-mō} ‘Solomon’ takes the direct objects et-yam {אֶת־יָם | ʾet-yām} ‘the Sea’, ve-et-ha-amudim {וְאֵת־הָעַמּוּדִים | wə-ʾet ha-ʿa-mu-dîm} ‘the pillars’, and ve-et-kelei ha-nechoshet {וְאֵת כְּלֵי הַנְּחֹשֶׁת | wə-ʾet kə-lê ha-nə-ḥō-šeṯ} ‘the bronze vessels’. The structure shifts from acquisition to temple furnishing, emphasizing the transformation of raw materials into sacred objects.
