Numbers 7:13

13. Charger Rather, a dish or bowl for receiving water or blood. Throughout this chapter, and nowhere else, it is incorrectly translated charger; but in Numbers 4:7; Exodus 25:29; Exodus 37:16, it is rendered dish. The Arabic indicates that it was a deep dish. It is not probable that a mixture of flour and oil would have been brought in a platter.

Bowl Or basin, as in Numbers 4:14; Exodus 27:3; Exodus 38:3. Between the various vessels bearing the name of basin, bowl, charger, cup, and dish, it is impossible now to ascertain the precise distinction, as very few, if any, remains of early Jewish metal-ware are known to exist. The tabernacle must have been well supplied with basins or bowls of large capacity for receiving the blood of the sacrifices. Leviticus 1:5.

Shekel of the sanctuary See Numbers 3:47, note.
