Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the bowls,.... To keep the oil in:

and the snuffers; to trim the lamps with; though some interpret the word of musical instruments, as the Targum, of psalteries:

and the basins; which were to receive the blood of the sacrifices; and, Ben Gersom thinks, particularly the blood of those that were brought into the sanctuary, see Hebrews 13:11, there were an hundred of them, 2 Chronicles 4:8

and the spoons; which held the incense:

and the censers of pure gold; with which the coals were carried from one altar to another, on which the incense was burnt; not only those but all the other vessels were of pure gold:

and the hinges of gold, [both] for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, to wit,

of the temple; the holy of holies and the holy place, the hinges of the doors of each, on which they were hung, and turned, were of gold; so grand and magnificent was this edifice, and so liberal Solomon in the building of it.
