Base with Laver
Hiram, a Phoenician artisan, came from Tyre to Zarethan in the Jordan Valley, about 40 miles (64 km) northeast of Jerusalem, to cast all the bronze vessels and instruments for Solomon’s Temple. He made 10 bronze bases with axles and wheels to carry bronze basins or lavers, which were removable for easier washing. In the lavers the priests were to rinse off both the instruments used for the burnt offering and certain parts of the offering itself.
