Exodus 25:29 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And thou shalt make the dishes thereof, and spoons thereof, and covers thereof, and bowls thereof, to cover withal: of pure gold shalt thou make them.

Dishes, х qª`aarotaayw (H7086) Septuagint, trublia, dishes] - (Numbers 7:13: cf. Matthew 26:23.)

And spoons, х wªkapotaayw (H3709)] - literally, and hollow hands; Septuagint, thiskas, its censers, pans (Numbers 7:14).

And covers thereof, х uwqsowtaayw (H7184)] - its bowls [Septuagint, apondeia.

And bowls thereof, х uwmnaqiyotaayw (H4518); Septuagint, kuathous, cups, goblets (cf. Exodus 37:16; Numbers 4:7).

To cover withal - or, as in margin of English Bible, to pour out withal; i:e., with which-namely, the two previously mentioned utensils-libations might be made. Hence, it may be inferred, although not affirmed either here or in any other passage, that wine was placed on the table, which was probably made use of by the priests at the same time as the bread (Leviticus 24:8-9).
