These stands were part of the larger project of temple construction, which was a significant undertaking during Solomon's reign. The stands were used to support the basins, which were essential for the ritual cleansing practices in the temple. The number ten often symbolizes completeness or divine order in the Bible, suggesting the thoroughness and divine approval of the temple's design. The craftsmanship of these stands reflects the advanced metallurgical skills of the period, likely influenced by the Phoenicians, who were renowned for their work with bronze. This detail underscores the collaboration between Solomon and Hiram of Tyre, a key ally in the temple's construction.<p><b>the ten basins on the stands</b><br>The ten basins placed on the stands were used for washing and purification, crucial elements in the temple's sacrificial system. Each basin was large enough to hold substantial amounts of water, necessary for the priests to cleanse themselves and the sacrificial offerings. This practice of ritual washing is echoed in the New Testament, where water symbolizes purification and baptism (e.g., <a href="/john/3-5.htm">John 3:5</a>, <a href="/ephesians/5-26.htm">Ephesians 5:26</a>). The basins' presence highlights the importance of purity and preparation before approaching God, a theme that runs throughout Scripture. The use of bronze, a durable and valuable material, signifies the enduring nature of God's covenant with Israel and the importance of maintaining holiness in worship.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>The king of Israel who commissioned the building of the temple in Jerusalem.
