Verse 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.
