BASON (Amer. RV [Note: Revised Version.] basin).Chiefly the large bowl of bronze used by the priests to receive the blood of the sacrificial victims (Exo_27:3; Exo_29:16, 1Ki_7:45 etc.). It is only once found in secular use, if the text is correct (Amo_6:6, otherwise LXX [Note: Septuagint.] , see Bowl). Similar bowls or basins of silver were presented by the princes of the congregation (Num_7:13 ff.); those destined for Solomons Temple were of gold (1Ki_7:50). The basins of Exo_12:22, 2Sa_17:28 were probably of earthenware. A special washbasin was used by Jesus for washing the disciples feet (Joh_13:5).
