“And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.”
They made the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. The bronze basin and stand are constructed from the mirrors of the women who served at the tent's entrance. This unique detail — the mirrors of women who served — appears only here. Their personal possessions used for self-reflection are given for the construction of the basin where priests will wash. The basin that prevents the priests' death through cleansing is made from what the serving women gave. The gift of the personal for the sacred is as valid for the serving women as for the craftsmen.
