And the basins,.... Or "bowls"; these are omitted, 2Ki 25:15; they were of gold, 1Ki 7:50;and the firepans; or "censers"; these were those of gold, which belonged to the golden altar, 1Ki 7:50;and the bowls; or "basins"; there were a hundred of them made of gold, 2Ch 4:8;and the cauldrons; or "pots"; these are not mentioned, 2Ki 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, 1Ki 7:49;and the spoons; which were also of gold, 1Ki 7:50;and the cups: the word is rendered "bowls", to cover withal, Ex 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 , 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.

Menachot, c. 11. sect.
