Jeremiah 52:19 Meaning and Commentary

Jeremiah 52:19

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 ^F3, 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.

Jeremiah 52:19 In-Context

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.

21 As for the columns, the height of one column was thirty-one-and-a-half feet; it took a twenty-one-foot measuring line to go around it; and its thickness was four fingers - it was hollow.
