Howbeit there were not made for the house of the LORD bowls of silver, snuffers, basons, trumpets, any vessels of gold, or vessels of silver, of the money that was brought into the house of the LORD:
Howbeit there were not ... bowls ... When the repairs of the temple had been complete, the surplus was appropriated to the purchase of the temple furniture. The integrity of the overseers of the work being undoubted, no account was exacted of the way in which they applied the money given to them, while other moneys, levied at the temple were left to the disposal of the disposal of the priests, as the law directed (Leviticus 5:15-16; Numbers 5:8).
