He also made
This phrase indicates the continuation of a detailed account of the construction of the temple furnishings by Hiram, a skilled craftsman from Tyre. The Hebrew root for "made" is עָשָׂה (asah), which means to fashion, accomplish, or produce. This reflects the intentional and skilled craftsmanship involved in creating items for the temple, emphasizing the dedication and precision required in serving God.

the stands
The Hebrew word for "stands" is מְכוֹנוֹת (mekonot), which refers to bases or pedestals. These stands were essential for supporting the basins used in temple rituals. Archaeological findings suggest that such stands were often ornately decorated, signifying their importance in the temple's function and beauty. The stands symbolize the support and foundation necessary for worship, reminding believers of the need for a firm spiritual foundation.

and the basins
The Hebrew term for "basins" is כִּיֹּרוֹת (kiyyorot), which were large containers used for washing and purification rituals. These basins were crucial for maintaining the ceremonial cleanliness required by the Levitical laws. Historically, basins were made of bronze, a durable and valuable material, signifying the purity and worthiness required in approaching God.

on the stands
This phrase indicates the placement and purpose of the basins. The stands elevated the basins, making them accessible for the priests to perform their duties. The elevation of the basins can be seen as a metaphor for the elevation of spiritual practices in the life of a believer, highlighting the importance of purity and preparation in worship.

(14) He made also bases.--And the bases he made; and the lavers he made upon the bases. This repetition of the verb is suspicious; and the parallel text shows the right reading to be and the bases ten (in number), and the lavers ten upon the bases. "Ten" in Hebrew writing closely resembles "he made." The LXX. renders, "And the bases he made ten, and the lavers he made upon the bases;" which shows that the corruption of the text is ancient.

Verse 14. - Bases. The first mention of these in Chronicles, on which so much is said in the parallel (1 Kings 7:27-39). The Hebrew word is מְכונָה, occurring eighteen times in Kings, twice in Chronicles, once in Ezra, and three times in Jeremiah. These bases were, as may be learnt more fully in the parallel, pedestals of brass four cubits square by three and a half high, supported by wheels a cubit and a half in diameter. The pedestals were richly decorated with mouldings, and with the similitudes of lions, oxen, and cherubim, and with other subordinate ornamental work, and were designed to bear the layers, the use of which is given in ver. 6. Vers. 6-16 in our chapter strongly suggest, in their repetitiousness, the writer's resort to different sources and authorities for his matter.
