In context

40Additionally, Huram made the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. 41the two pillars; 42the four hundred pomegranates for the two sets of network (two rows of pomegranates for each network covering both the bowl-shaped capitals atop the pillars); 43the ten stands; 44the Sea; 45and the pots, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. 46All the articles that Huram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were made of burnished bronze. The king had them cast in clay molds in the plain of the Jordan between Succoth and Zarethan. 47Solomon left all these articles unweighed, because there were so many. The weight of the bronze could not be determined.
