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 made all the items for the Temple of the Lord: the golden altar; the golden table which held the bread that shows God's people are in his presence;

49 the lampstands of pure gold (five on the right side and five on the left side in front of the Most Holy Place); the flowers, lamps, and tongs of gold;

50 the pure gold bowls, wick trimmers, small bowls, pans, and dishes used to carry coals; the gold hinges for the doors of the Most Holy Place and the main room of the Temple.

51 Finally the work King Solomon did for the Temple of the Lord was finished. Solomon brought in everything his father David had set apart for the Temple -- silver, gold, and other articles. He put everything in the treasuries of the Temple of the Lord.
