“Also pure gold for the flesh hooks, etc.] 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.”
