These are all technical terms relating to the furnishings of the temple courtyard. If you have already translated the book of 1 Kings, see how you translated these terms in 1 Kings 7:23–39.

In this verse, the word basin is singular in form, but it refers to the basins on all ten of the stands in the temple courtyard. You could indicate this in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the basins from upon them] or [the basin that was on each one]
