Commentary:

bowl
Kaarah in Hebrew. The Targum renders it as megista, a large tray or bowl, while the Septuagint has it as tryblion on Greek, a large bowl or platter. See this verse, 'sacrificial basin'.

130 shekels
104 oz. or 6.5 lb.

sacrificial basin
Mizrak in Hebrew (see Exodus 26:3; Radak, Sherashim; cf. Amos 6:6). The bowl and the basin were both exactly the same size, except that the bowl had thicker walls (Sifri; HaKethav VeHaKabbalah).

70 shekels
56 oz. or 3.5 lb.

incense bowl
(Targum; Septuagint; cf. Yerushalmi, Yoma 5:1). Kaf in Hebrew. See Exodus 25:29.

10 shekels
8 oz.
