14the ten movable stands with their ten basins, 15the big bronze basin called “The Sea” with its twelve bulls underneath, and the pots, shovels, and meat forks. All the items King Solomon assigned Huram Abi to make for the Lord’s temple were made from polished bronze. 17The king had them cast in earthen foundries in the region of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan. 18Solomon made so many of these items they did not weigh the bronze.
