This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Vessels of pure gold were also to be made, to stand upon the table (cf. Exo 37:16). קְעָרֹת, τὰ τευβλία (lxx), large deep plates, in which the shew-bread was not only brought to the table, but placed upon it. These plates cannot have been small, for the silver קְעָרֹת, presented by Nahshon the tribe prince, weighed 130 shekels (Num 7:13). כַּפֹּת, from כַּף a hollow hand, small scoops, according to Num 7:14, only ten shekels in weight, used to put out the incense belonging to the shew-bread upon the table (cf. Lev 24:7 and Num 7:14): lxx θυΐ́σκη, i.e., according to the Etymol. Magn., σκάφη ἡ τὰ θύματα δεχομένη. There were also two vessels “to pour out,” sc., the drink-offering, or libation of wine: viz., קְשָׂוֹת, σπονδεῖα (lxx), sacrificial spoons to make the libation of wine with, and מְנַקִּיֹּת, κύαθοι (lxx), goblets into which the wine was poured, and in which it was placed upon the table. (See Exo 37:16 and Num 4:7, where the goblets are mentioned before the sacrificial spoons.)
