Jeremiah 52:19

And the basons, and the firepans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoons, and the cups; that which was of gold in gold, and that which was of silver in silver, took the captain of the guard away.

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.
