Exodus 38:8

8 He also made the washtub of brass, with its base made from the mirrors of the women who kept watch at the door of the tabernacle. ^{▼▼38:8The women at the door of the tabernacle had mirrors with them, probably so that they could look into the tabernacle. They were not allowed to enter the tabernacle. This may have been the Tabernacle that was being worked on, for the parts would have to be assembled to assure that they were made to the correct specifications. Or it may have been the existing tent which held the ark and the tablets of the testimony prior to the building of the Tabernacle.(Conte)}
