And the pots. The word used, twOrysi, is translated by, "caldrons" in Jer_52:18, and "ash-pans" in Exo_27:3. The latter is probably right. And the shovels appurtenances of the altar of burnt sacrificeand the snuffers rather, the knivesand the spoons or, incense-cups and all the vessels of brain wherewith they ministered. It appears that after the two previous spoliations of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar, in B.C. 605 and in B.C. 597, wherein so many of the more costly vessels had been carried off (Dan_1:2; 2Ki_24:13) the ministrations had to be performed mainly with vessels of bronze. Took they away. Soldiers are often represented in the Assyrian sculptures as carrying off vessels from temples, apparently on their own account (see "Ancient Monarchies," vol. 1. p. 475, 2nd edit.).
