His pans to receive his ashes. — Scuttles, in which the ashes were placed for removal from the sanctuary, are intended. The word translated “to receive his ashes” is a rare one, and implies a mixture with the ashes of unburnt fat.
His shovels. — A right rendering. The “shovels” would be used in clearing away the ashes from off the altar.
His basons. — Basins were needed to receive the blood of the victims (Exodus 24:6), which was cast from basins upon the foot of the altar.
His fleshhooks. — Implements with three prongs, used for arranging the pieces of the victim upon the altar. The priests’ servants sometimes applied them to a different purpose (1 Samuel 2:13).
His firepans. — The word here used is elsewhere translated either “snuffdishes,” or “censers.” Probably vessels employed in carrying embers from the brazen altar to the altar of incense (Leviticus 16:12) are intended.
