That which was originally used in the tabernacle was of brass ( rather copper; Heb. nihsheth), made from the metal mirrors the women brought out of Egypt ( Ex. 38: 8). It contained water wherewith the priests washed their hands and feet when they entered the tabernacle ( 40: 32). It stood in the court between the altar and the door of the tabernacle ( 30: 19, 21). In the temple there were ten lavers used for the sacrifices, and the molten sea for the ablutions of the priests ( 2 Chr. 4: 6).

The " molten sea" was made of copper, taken from Tibhath and Chun, cities of Hadarezer, king of Zobah ( 1 Chr. 18: 8; 1 Kings 7: 23- 26). No lavers are mentioned in the second temple.
