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 Nebu'zarad'an the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.

17 And the pillars of bronze that were in the house of the LORD, and the stands and the bronze sea that were in the house of the LORD, the Chalde'ans broke in pieces, and carried all the bronze to Babylon.

18 And they took away the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the basins, and the dishes for incense, and all the vessels of bronze used in the temple service;

19 also the small bowls, and the firepans, and the basins, and the pots, and the lampstands, and the dishes for incense, and the bowls for libation. What was of gold the captain of the guard took away as gold, and what was of silver, as silver.

20 As for the two pillars, the one sea, the twelve bronze bulls which were under the sea, and the stands, which Solomon the king had made for the house of the LORD, the bronze of all these things was beyond weight.
