Gold was a symbol of purity and divinity, often used in the construction of sacred objects. These basins were likely used for ritual purification, a practice rooted in the Levitical laws (<a href="/exodus/30-18.htm">Exodus 30:18-21</a>), emphasizing the need for cleanliness before approaching God.wick trimmers Wick trimmers were essential for maintaining the lamps in the temple, ensuring that the light remained constant. This symbolizes the continuous presence of God and the need for spiritual vigilance. The maintenance of the lamps can be connected to the parable of the ten virgins in <a href="/matthew/25.htm">Matthew 25:1-13</a>, where readiness and preparation are key themes.sprinkling bowls Sprinkling bowls were used for the sprinkling of blood or water in various purification rites. This practice is deeply rooted in the sacrificial system outlined in Leviticus, where blood was a symbol of atonement and cleansing. The use of these bowls points to the necessity of purification and foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Christ, whose blood cleanses from sin (<a href="/hebrews/9-13.htm">Hebrews 9:13-14</a>).ladles Ladles were likely used for handling incense or other offerings. Incense in the temple represented the prayers of the people ascending to God (<a href="/psalms/141-2.htm">Psalm 141:2</a>, <a href="/revelation/8-3.htm">Revelation 8:3-4</a>). The use of ladles in this context underscores the importance of prayer and intercession in the worship of God.and censers Censers were used to burn incense, a practice that created a fragrant aroma pleasing to God. This act symbolizes the prayers and worship of the faithful, rising to God as a sweet-smelling sacrifice. The censer is also a type of Christ, who intercedes for believers before the Father (<a href="/hebrews/7-25.htm">Hebrews 7:25</a>).and the gold hinges for the doors of the inner temple (that is, the Most Holy Place) The Most Holy Place, or Holy of Holies, was the innermost and most sacred area of the temple, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. Only the high priest could enter this space, and only once a year on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16). The use of gold hinges signifies the importance and sanctity of this area, emphasizing the separation between God and humanity, which was ultimately bridged by Christ's sacrifice (<a href="/matthew/27-51.htm">Matthew 27:51</a>).as well as for the doors of the main hall of the temple The main hall, or the Holy Place, was where priests performed daily rituals. The gold hinges here indicate the temple's overall grandeur and the importance of the worship conducted within. This area served as a transition between the outer court and the Most Holy Place, symbolizing the journey of faith and the progression towards deeper communion with God.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a> The king of Israel who commissioned the building of the temple in Jerusalem, fulfilling his father David's vision. 2. <a href="/topical/t/temple_in_jerusalem.htm">Temple in Jerusalem</a> The central place of worship for the Israelites, symbolizing God's presence among His people. 3. <a href="/topical/m/most_holy_place.htm">Most Holy Place</a> The innermost and most sacred area of the temple, where the Ark of the Covenant was kept. 4. <a href="/topical/h/hiram_of_tyre.htm">Hiram of Tyre</a> The skilled craftsman who assisted Solomon in the construction of the temple, providing expertise in bronze work. 5. <a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a> The people of God who worshiped at the temple and for whom these sacred objects were made.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/t/the_significance_of_gold_in_worship.htm">The Significance of Gold in Worship</a> Gold symbolizes purity, value, and divine glory.

According to <a href="/2_chronicles/4-8.htm">2 Chronicles 4:8</a>, they were a hundred in number. As the root (זָרַק) signifies to sprinkle, they were probably either for the water or the blood of sprinkling.

In <a href="/exodus/25-38.htm">Exodus 25:38</a> the word is translated snuff, dishes.
