Commentary

The golden spoons were twelve, full of incense,.... Which points at the use those spoons or cup s were of, namely, to carry incense in them, such as were used on the day of atonement (l): weighing ten shekels apiece, after the shekel of the sanctuary; See Gill on Num 7:14 , all the gold of the spoons was twenty shekels; which amounted to forty nine ounces, five drachms, scruples, and eight gains, worth about seventy five pounds of our money. (l) Misn. Yoma, c. 4, 4. & 5, 1.
