‏ 2 Chronicles 4:2-5

v. 2-5: The molten seawas a large brass basin filled with water for the priests to wash before performing their duties (2 Chronicles 4:2-5 a). It symbolized the cleansing power of Christ’s blood, which washes away sin (1 John 1:7 b). It also reminded worshippers of their duty to purify their hearts and repent before approaching God. Just as priests needed to wash, we must cleanse our lives through repentance and faith in Christ (James 4:8 c).
