What Does 2 Chronicles 4:17 Mean?

The casting was done in the Jordan valley, where the dense clay of the riverbed made good molds for the molten bronze. Succoth and Zeredathah marked the region of this great foundry.

God's house was furnished through honest craft worked out in ordinary ground. The sacred vessels were born of clay and fire in a common riverbed before they ever shone in the temple. Often the holy is fashioned in humble, hidden places before it is revealed.
