A Likely Scribal Error
Commentators note a likely ancient scribal error in this verse. The Hebrew words for "he made" and "ten" are visually similar. Based on the parallel account in 1 Kings and the ancient Greek translation (the Septuagint), the text should probably read that Huram-abi made 'ten bases, and ten lavers upon the bases,' clarifying the quantity of these items.
