Exodus 25:29
Thou shalt prepare also dishes, and bowls, censers, and cups, wherein the libations are to be offered of the purest gold.
The verse in its languages
- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Parabis et acetabula, ac phialas, thuribula, et cyathos, in quibus offerenda sunt libamina, ex auro purissimo.
- Septuagint (Swete) shown from Exodus 25:28
- καὶ ποιήσεις τὰ τρυβλία αὐτῆς καὶ τὰς θυίσκας καὶ τὰ σπόνδια καὶ τοὺς κυάθους, οἷς σπείσεις ἐν αὐτοῖς χρυσίου καθαροῦ ποιήσεις αὐτά.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וְעָשִׂ֨יתָ קְּעָרֹתָ֜יו וְכַפֹּתָ֗יו וּקְשׂוֹתָיו֙ וּמְנַקִּיֹּתָ֔יו אֲשֶׁ֥ר יֻסַּ֖ךְ בָּהֵ֑ן זָהָ֥ב טָה֖וֹר תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה אֹתָֽם
Haydock's commentary
Dishes. (acetabulum.) Properly a vessel to hold vinegar, but used for various purposes.
Bowls, or vials full of wine. (Tostat)
Censers, to contain incense, &c., chap. xxxvii. 16. The first term, karuth, might also mean vessels to contain the flour and oil of which these loaves were made, Numbers vii. 13. The Levites made the bread themselves, (1 Paralipomenon xxii. 29,) and even sowed the corn, and did every thing about it. (St. Jerome in Malachias i. 7.) The second term, coputh, may denote vessels to keep incense; the third, monkiuth, instruments to clean either the floor or the table, &c. All these vessels seem mended to accompany the table of shew-bread.
Cups, used for libations (chap. xxxvii. 16; Numbers iv. 7) of wine, on the sabbath. Kossuth signifies a porringer or dish, like the ancient patera. Whether wine was placed on this table, we cannot determine. But we read of salt, (Calmet) which was to accompany all God's sacrifices, Leviticus ii. 13.
