Jeremiah 52:18 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:18

The cauldrons also
Or "pots", as it is rendered, ( 2 Kings 25:14 ) ; which were made of bright brass, ( 1 Kings 7:45 ) ; these were used to boil the flesh of the sacrifices in: and the shovels;
used to remove the ashes from off the altar of burnt offerings, and were of brass also: the Targum renders them "besoms", whose handles perhaps were of brass: and the snuffers;
the Vulgate Latin translates it "psalteries"; and so Jarchi interprets it of musical instruments; some think "tongs" are meant: and the bowls;
or "basins"; either to drink out of, or to receive the blood of the sacrifice: and the spoons:
ladles, cups, or dishes, vessels used about the sacrifices: and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered;
that is, the priests in the temple: took they away;
the Chaldeans took them away.

Jeremiah 52:18 In-Context

16 But N'vuzar'adan the commander of the guard left behind some of the poor people of the land to be vineyard-workers and farmers.

17 The Kasdim smashed the bronze columns of the house of ADONAI, also the trolleys and bronze Sea that were in the house of ADONAI, and carried their bronze to Bavel.

18 They also took away the pots, shovels, snuffers, basins, pans, and all the bronze articles they had used in worship.

19 The commander of the guard took the cups, censers, sprinkling bowls, pots, menorahs, pans and bowls - everything made of gold and everything made of silver.

20 The bronze in the two columns, the one Sea, and the twelve bronze bulls under the bases, all of which Shlomo had made for the house of ADONAI, was more than could be weighed.
