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.
