Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

And the basins,.... Or "bowls"; these are omitted, 2-Kings 25:15; they were of gold, 1-Kings 7:50;
and the firepans; or "censers"; these were those of gold, which belonged to the golden altar, 1-Kings 7:50;
and the bowls; or "basins"; there were a hundred of them made of gold, 2-Chronicles 4:8;
and the cauldrons; or "pots"; these are not mentioned, 2-Kings 25:15; what they should be, that were either of gold or silver, cannot be said:
and the candlesticks; of which there were ten in number, made of pure gold, five on the right side, and five on the left, before the oracle, 1-Kings 7:49;
and the spoons; which were also of gold, 1-Kings 7:50;
and the cups: the word is rendered "bowls", to cover withal, Exodus 25:29; it was some kind of instrument or vessel used about the shewbread table, made of pure gold; according to Jarchi, these were little golden forks, upon which they placed the shewbread, to keep it from moulding; according to the Misna (c), there were four of them:
that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away; that is, everything that was of gold or silver he took away; the golden things by themselves, and the silver things by themselves, as some think.
(c) Menachot, c. 11. sect. 6.

of gold in gold--implying that the articles were of solid gold and silver respectively, not of a different metal inside, or alloyed [GROTIUS]. Whole: not breaking them as was done to the "brass" (Jeremiah 52:17).
