1 Kings 7:38-46
381And he made ten basins of bronze, 2each holding 3forty baths; each basin was 4four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin. 39Then he placed the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the 5Sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.
40Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the Lord: 41the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the 6two pillars, and the two lattices to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; 42and the 7four hundred pomegranates for the two lattices, two rows of pomegranates for each lattice to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; 43and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; 44and 8the one 9Sea and the twelve oxen under the Sea; 45and 10the buckets, the shovels, and the bowls; indeed, all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the Lord were of polished bronze. 4611The king had them cast in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between 12Succoth and 13Zarethan.
