Jeremias 52:17 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:17

Also the pillars of brass that [were] in the house of the
Lord
The two pillars in the temple, called Jachin and Boaz, which were made of cast brass, ( 1 Kings 7:15 ) ; and the bases;
which were in number ten, and which were also made of cast brass, and were all of one measure and size; and on which the ten lavers of brass were set, five on the right side and five on the left side of the house, ( 1 Kings 7:37-39 ) ; and the brasen sea that [was] in the house of the Lord;
called the molten sea; a sea, because of the large quantity of water it held; and brasen and molten, because made of molten brass, ( 1 Kings 7:23 ) ; the Chaldeans broke, and carried all the brass of them to Babylon:
they broke them to pieces, that they might carry them the more easily. This account is given, and which is continued in some following verses, partly to show the accomplishment of the prophecy of Jeremiah, ( Jeremiah 27:19 ) ; and partly to show that what was left in the temple, at the former captivities of Jehoiakim and Jeconiah, were now carried clear off.

Jeremias 52:17 In-Context

15 E os mais pobres do povo, e o resto do povo que tinha ficado na cidade, e os desertores que se haviam passado para o rei de Babilônia, e o resto dos artífices, Nebuzaradão, capitão da guarda, levou-os cativos.

16 Mas dos mais pobres da terra Nebuzaradão, capitão da guarda, deixou ficar alguns, para serem vinhateiros e lavradores.

17 Os caldeus despedaçaram as colunas de bronze que estavam na casa do Senhor, e as bases, e o mar de bronze, que estavam na casa do Senhor, e levaram todo o bronze para Babilônia.

18 Também tomaram as caldeiras, as pás, as espevitadeiras, as bacias, as colheres, e todos os utensílios de bronze, com que se ministrava.

19 De igual modo o capitão da guarda levou os copos, os braseiros, as bacias, as caldeiras, os castiçais, as colheres, e as tigelas. O que era de ouro, levou como ouro, e o que era de prata, como prata.
