This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The dishes, in which the bread and frankincense upon it were put, Lev_24:7. Of this sort there were twelve, one for every loaf.
Spoons, in which incense was put, as appears from Num_7:14, and by which incense was either put into the dishes or taken out of them, as occasion required.
Covers; so the Hebrew word is used, Exo_37:16 Num_4:7. Herewith either the bread, or incense, or both, were covered.
Bowls, to cover the same things. So this and the former were two several sorts of covers, the one deeper than the other, one to cover the bread, another the incense. Or, bowls thereof, to pour out withal, to wit, liquid things, as wine and oil, when they were offered. See Gen_35:14. Or these last words may relate not only to the bowls, but the other things, here mentioned, and may be thus rendered, wherewith it, to wit, the table, shall be covered, as indeed it was in a manner quite covered with these vessels.
