=12.= _that he had by the spirit_] i.e. that had come to him by revelation and rested with him waiting for realisation. Margin, _that he had in his spirit_ (i.e. in his mind) is a less likely translation. _for the courts_] The last verse dealt with the Temple itself; this one with the courts and detached buildings. _chambers_] compare ix. 26, note. _the treasuries_] The same Hebrew word as in xxvi. 20; Nehemiah xiii. 12, 15. See note on verse 11. _dedicated things_] xxvi. 26‒28; 2 Chronicles xv. 18. ¹³also for the courses of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of the LORD, and for all the vessels of service in the house of the LORD: =13.= _also for the courses_] The verse is best taken in adjectival connection with the phrase _the chambers round about_ in the preceding verse: these were used _for the treasuries..._, and “_also for the courses_,” etc. It is possible, however, to take it in the sense “he gave the pattern also for the courses,” etc.; i.e. the scheme of rotation set forth in previous chapters. _of the priests and the Levites_] Compare xxiv. 1‒31. ¹⁴of gold by weight for the _vessels of_ gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; _of silver_ for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service: ¹⁵by weight also for the candlesticks of gold, and for the lamps thereof, of gold, by weight for every candlestick and for the lamps thereof: and for the candlesticks of silver, _silver_ by weight for _every_ candlestick and for the lamps thereof, according to the use of every candlestick: =14.= _of gold by weight_] _sc._ he gave the pattern or account _of gold_, etc. ¹⁶and the gold by weight for the tables of shewbread, for every table; and silver for the tables of silver: =16.= _tables of shewbread_] Elsewhere, except 2 Chronicles iv. 19 (see note on 2 Chronicles iv. 8), only one table for the shewbread is mentioned; compare 2 Chronicles xxix. 18; Exodus xxxv. 13, xxxvii. 10, xl. 22. _and silver_] Neither the silver tables of this verse, nor the silver candlesticks of verse 15 are mentioned elsewhere; perhaps they stood in some of the chambers (verse 12) of the Temple courts for the use of the Levites in their work. ¹⁷and the fleshhooks, and the basons, and the cups, of pure gold: and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl; and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl: =17.= _fleshhooks_] Exodus xxvii. 3; 1 Samuel ii. 13. _basons_] These were used for dashing the blood of a victim against the altar. Compare 2 Chronicles xxix. 22. _the cups_] Probably the same as the _flagons_ (Revised Version) of Exodus xxv. 29 which were used for pouring out the drink offering. ¹⁸and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight; and gold for the pattern of the chariot, _even_ the cherubim, that spread out _their wings_, and covered the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
