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 Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, left some of the poorest people in the land to work in the vineyards and on the farms.

17 The Babylonians broke apart the bronze pillars of the LORD's temple, the stands, and the bronze pool in the LORD's temple. They shipped all the bronze to Babylon.

18 They took the pots, shovels, snuffers, bowls, dishes, and all the bronze utensils used in the temple service.

19 The captain of the guard also took pans, incense burners, bowls, pots, lamp stands, dishes, and the bowls used for wine offerings. The captain of the guard took all of the trays and bowls that were made of gold or silver.

20 The bronze from the 2 pillars, the pool, and the 12 bronze bulls under the stands that King Solomon had made for the LORD's temple couldn't be weighed.
