Quick answer
The inventory lists the ten stands and the ten basins set upon them. The matched furnishings for washing are recorded.
Overview
The stands and basins, central to the priests' washing of sacrifices, take their place in the summary of Hiram's work. Their inclusion shows that the practical instruments of cleansing were as integral to the temple as its grand features. All served the worship through which a holy God made fellowship with His people possible.
