I Kings 7:40-50

40. Hiram made the basins, the shovels, and the basins. So Hiram finished doing all the work that he worked for king Solomon in יהוה ’s house:

41. The two pillars; the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars; the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the top of the pillars;

42. The four hundred pomegranates for the two networks; two rows of pomegranates for each network, to cover the two bowls of the capitals that were on the pillars;

43. The ten bases; the ten basins on the bases;

44. The one sea; the twelve oxen under the sea;

45. The pots; the shovels; and the basins: even all these vessels, which Hiram made for king Solomon, in יהוה ’s house, were of burnished brass.

46. The king cast them in the plain of the Jordan, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan.

47. Solomon left all the vessels unweighed, because there were so many of them. The weight of the brass could not be determined.

48. Solomon made all the vessels that were in יהוה ’s house: the golden altar and the table that the show bread was on, of gold;

49. And the lamp stands, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers, the lamps, and the tongs, of gold;

50. The cups, the snuffers, the basins, the spoons, and the fire pans, of pure gold; and the hinges, both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, of the temple, of gold.

Etz Chaim
It is a tree of life for those who cling to it, and those who uphold it are happy.  Its ways are pleasant, and all of its paths peaceful.
Return us to you, Lord, so that we shall return, renew our days as of old.
