Haydock's commentary
Beds, with all the necessary furniture, coverlets, &c. Roman Septuagint, "ten beds, with fur on both sides."
Tapestry. Some would translate, "bottles," (Chaldean) or "cauldrons;" (Roman Septuagint) but other editions agree with the Vulgate.
Vessels. These are necessary, as much as things of greater magnificence. Precious metals were then rarely used in the kitchen.
Pulse, (cicer) or "parched peas." Hebrew kali, is thus twice translated, as it had been rendered parched corn. It signifies any thing "parched." The ancients made great use of such food in journeys, as the Ethiopians and Turks do still. (Athen. ii. 13.; Busbec. iii.; Bellon. ii. 53.) (Calmet)
