Geremia 52:19

19 Il capo della guardia prese pure le coppe, i bracieri, i bacini, le pignatte, i candelabri, le tazze e i calici, l’oro di ciò ch’era d’oro e l’argento di ciò ch’era d’argento.

Geremia 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.

Geremia 52:19 In-Context

17 I Caldei spezzarono le colonne di rame ch’erano nella casa dell’Eterno, le basi, il mar di rame ch’era nella casa dell’Eterno, e ne portaron via il rame a Babilonia.

18 Presero le pignatte, le palette, i coltelli, i bacini, le coppe, e tutti gli utensili di rame coi quali si faceva il servizio.

19 Il capo della guardia prese pure le coppe, i bracieri, i bacini, le pignatte, i candelabri, le tazze e i calici, l’oro di ciò ch’era d’oro e l’argento di ciò ch’era d’argento.

20 Quanto alle due colonne, al mare e ai dodici buoi di rame che servivano di base e che Salomone avea fatti per la casa dell’Eterno, il rame di tutti questi oggetti aveva un peso incalcolabile.

21 L’altezza di una di queste colonne era di diciotto cubiti, e a misurarla in giro ci voleva un filo di dodici cubiti; aveva uno spessore di quattro dita, ed era vuota;
