The Vulg. merely repeats 2Chronicles 4:11 (et lebetes et creagras et phialas). A stop should follow the last; "And all their instruments," &c., being a new sentence. And all their instruments.--1Kings 7:45, and all these instruments, which appears correct, though the LXX. supports our present reading (????? ?? ????? ??????). "Their instruments" could hardly mean the moulds in which they were cast, as Z?ckler suggests. The moulds would not be made in "polished brass." . . . Verse 16. - Flesh-hooks.
