Melakhiym Alef (I Kings) 7:40-51

40 Hiram (Chiyram meaning ‘noble’) also made the fire pots, shovels and basins. So Hiram finished all the work he had undertaken for King Solomon (Melekh Shlomoh) in the temple of YHWH :

41 the two columns with two bowl-shaped crowns on top of the columns; the two sets of lattice work decorating the two bowl-shaped crowns on top of the columns;

42 the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network, decorating the bowl-shaped capitals on top of the columns);

43 the ten pedestals with their ten basins on pedestals,

44 the great basin called The Sea with twelve bulls under it;

45 the pots, shovels and basins. All these objects that Hiram made for King Solomon (Melekh Shlomoh) for the House of YHWH were of polished brass.

46 The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan (Yarden) between booths (Cukkoth) and their distress (Tsarethan).

47 Solomon (Shlomoh) left all these things un-weighed, because there were so many; the weight of the brass was unknown.

48 Solomon (Shlomoh) also appointed all the furnishings that were in YHWH's House: the golden altar; the golden table on which was the bread of display;

49 the lamp-stands (menorowt) of pure gold, five on the right and five on the left, in front of the inner most sanctuary; the gold floral work and lamps and tongs;

50 the pure gold basins, wick trimmers, bowls for sprinkling, dishes and censers; and the gold sockets for the doors of the innermost room, the Most Set Apart Place, and also for the doors of the main hall of the House.

51 When all the work King Solomon (Melekh Shlomoh) had appointed for the House of YHWH was finished, he brought in the things his father David had dedicated the silver and gold and the furnishings, he placed them all in the treasury of YHWH’s House.
