1 Kings 7:50 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 7:50

And the bowls
To keep the oil in:

and the snuffers;
to trim the lamps with; though some interpret the word of musical instruments, as the Targum, of psalteries:

and the basins;
which were to receive the blood of the sacrifices; and, Ben Gersom thinks, particularly the blood of those that were brought into the sanctuary, see ( Hebrews 13:11 ) , there were an hundred of them, ( 2 Chronicles 4:8 )

and the spoons;
which held the incense:

and the censers of pure gold;
with which the coals were carried from one altar to another, on which the incense was burnt; not only those but all the other vessels were of pure gold:

and the hinges of gold, [both] for the doors of the inner house, the
most holy place, and for the doors of the house,
to wit,

of the temple;
the holy of holies and the holy place, the hinges of the doors of each, on which they were hung, and turned, were of gold; so grand and magnificent was this edifice, and so liberal Solomon in the building of it.

1 Kings 7:50 In-Context

48 Solomon also had gold furnishings made for the Temple: the altar, the table for the bread offered to God,

49 the ten lampstands that stood in front of the Most Holy Place, five on the south side and five on the north; the flowers, lamps, and tongs;

50 the cups, lamp snuffers, bowls, dishes for incense, and the pans used for carrying live coals; and the hinges for the doors of the Most Holy Place and of the outer doors of the Temple. All these furnishings were made of gold.

51 When King Solomon finished all the work on the Temple, he placed in the Temple storerooms all the things that his father David had dedicated to the Lord - the silver, gold, and other articles.
