Also pure gold for the flesh hooks,…. To take the pieces of flesh out of the pots, in which they were boiled:
and the bowls and the cups; and for the golden basins he gave gold by weight for every basin; which were vessels made use of for the receiving and sprinkling the blood of the sacrifices: likewise silver
by weight for every basin of silver; for it seems some of them were of silver, as others were of gold.

(17) Also pure gold for the fleshhooks, and the bowls, and the cups.Rather, and the forks, and the bowls, and the flagons were (in the schedule or inventory) pure gold. (See Exo. 27:3; 1Sa. 2:13-14.) The bowls were used in lustral sprinkling, the golden flagons in libations (Exo. 25:29; Exo. 37:16; Num. 4:7 only).
The golden basons.Tankards, or lidded pitchers (kphrm): a word only found here and in Ezr. 1:10; Ezr. 8:27 (among the sacred vessels restored by Cyrus).
By weight.By the (required) weight. The altar of incense stood within the Holiest (the Dbr, or Adytum; Exo. 40:5).
And gold for the pattern of the chariot of the cherubims, that spread out their wings.Rather, and for the model of the chariot, that is, the cherubim (he assigned) gold; to wit, for beings out-spreading (their wings) and overshadowing the Ark of the Covenant of Jehovah. The two cherubs lying on the (kappreth) above the Ark are here called the chariot, with obvious reference to such passages as Psa. 18:11, where it is said of God, He charioted on a cherub. (Comp. also Psa. 99:1.) The rest of the verse describes the purpose of the symbolical cherubic figures, in terms borrowed from Exo. 25:20. (Comp. also Ezekiels vision, called by the Jews The Chariot, Ezekiel 1)
