Verse 10
Thirty basins of gold ,.... Cups or dishes with covers, as the word seems to signify; but, according to Jarchi and Aben Ezra, they were vessels in which the blood of sacrifices was received, and out of which it was sprinkled on the altar:
silver basins of a second sort four hundred and ten ; perhaps lesser than the other, however not so valuable, being of silver; in the Apocrypha:"And this was the number of them; A thousand golden cups, and a thousand of silver, censers of silver twenty nine, vials of gold thirty, and of silver two thousand four hundred and ten, and a thousand other vessels.' ( 1 Esdras 2:13 )the number is 2410; and in the letter of Cyrus, before referred to, it is 2400:
and other vessels a thousand ; which are not particularly mentioned; Junius and Tremellius render the words:
other vessels by thousands , there being near 3000 that are not described.
