2 Chronicles 4

2 Chronicles 4
An altar of brass equal in size to the holiest place, is described, and a molten sea or laver where the priests were to wash hands and feet when they approached for any service; ten smaller lavers for the washing of sacrifices; ten candlesticks, ten tables and a hundred golden bowls; these all were figures of the true (Hebrews 9:2424For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us: (Hebrews 9:24)); they spoke of approach to God, and of the removal of defilement by the washing of water (see Ephesians 5:2626That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, (Ephesians 5:26)), of a more perfect sacrifice, and of heavenly light amid earth's darkness, of service for God, too.
Finally the house was completed, with its place for the priests privileged to be in constant nearness, and the "great court" for all who approached, its golden altar for incense, and all its furniture.
