The instruments of gold (21) And the flowers . . . gold.--See 1Kings 7:49. And that perfect gold.--It was perfection of gold. The word mikloth, "perfections" (intensive plural) occurs nowhere else. It is derived from k?l?h, "to be finished," not k?lal (Bishop Wordsworth). The LXX. omits the clause; not so the Vulg., which renders "all were made of purest gold." This little touch, added to heighten the effect, is quite in the manner of the chronicler, and is certainly not to be suspected, as Z�ckler asserts. Perhaps we should read miklol, "perfection" (Ezekiel 23:12), instead of the isolated mikloth. And the snuffers.--Before this expression, and the basons (1Kings 7:50) has probably fallen out. Snuffers.--Shears or scissors, for trimming the lamps. The spoons, and the censers.--Or, trays and snuff-dishes.--See 1Kings 7:50; Exodus 25:38. . . . Verse 21. - The flowers; Hebrew, פֶרַה, occurring sixteen times, of which number it is translated" flowers "thirteen times, "buds" twice, and "blossom" once. The flower was a part of the ornamentation of the branches of the candelabrum (Exodus 25:31, 33). The tongs; Hebrew, מֶלְקָחַיִם, occurring six times, of which number it is translated five times "tongs," but once "snuffers" (Exodus 37:23). This latter is the correcter translation, perhaps. The instrument, at any rate, was to trim the lamp-wicks (Exodus 25:38).Parallel Commentaries ...
