 LAVER — a basin in which the priests washed their hands for purification purposes while officiating at
the altar of the Tabernacle or the Temple. Moses was commanded to make a laver, or basin, so Aaron and
the Levitical priests could wash their hands and feet before offering sacrifices (Ex. 30:18–21). The laver
and its base were made from the bronze mirrors of the serving women (Ex. 38:8). It stood between the Tent
of Meeting and the altar.

Hiram made ten bronze lavers for Solomon’s Temple (1 Kin. 7:27–39). Each laver rested on a bronze cart,
and each cart rested on two pairs of wheels. The panels on the carts were decorated with lions, oxen, and
cherubim. The lavers were divided into two groups of five and were used for washing sacrifices. The
priests, however, washed in the Bronze Sea (2 Chr. 4:6). Later in Judah’s history, King Ahaz cut the panels
off the carts and removed the lavers (2 Kin. 16:17).

The ten lavers are not mentioned in the prophet Ezekiel’s description of the new temple. The rebuilt
temples under Zerubbabel and Herod each had a single laver. ). [Nelson’s illustrated Bible dictionary,
Logos Library System, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson) 1997, c1995.]

BRONZE SEA — a huge basin made of cast bronze near the entrance of the Temple and in front of the
altar (1 Kin. 7:23–26). The bronze sea, about 4 1/2 meters (15 feet) in diameter, was cast by Hiram, a
bronze worker employed by Solomon (1 Kin. 7:13–14). The bronze sea was supported by 12 oxen—or
bulls—consisting of three animals pointing toward each of the four points of the compass. According to 2
Chronicles 4:6, the purpose of the sea was "for the priests to wash in." The Babylonians broke the bronze
sea and carried the pieces to Babylon (2 Kin. 25:13). [Nelson’s illustrated Bible dictionary, Logos Library
System, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson) 1997, c1995.]

• • "I have some difficulty in accepting the indiscriminate baptism of infants without a
careful regard as to whether the parents have any intention of fulfilling the promise they
make. But I do believe that something happens at the baptism of an infant, particularly if
the parents are Christians and teach their children Christian Truths from childhood. We
cannot fully understand the miracles of God, but I believe that a miracle can happen in
these children so that they are regenerated, that is, made Christian, through infant
baptism. If you want to call that baptismal regeneration, that’s all right with me"
 (Graham, interview with Wilfred Bockelman, associate editor of the Lutheran Standard,
October 10, 1961).

Argument: "We want our children to choose Jesus"
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord; 5 and you shall love
the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and

day shall be upon your heart; 7 and you shall teach them diligently to
your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and
when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you
rise. 8 And you shall bind them as a sign upon your
hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 And you
shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
