Ezra 1:9
"And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And this is the number of them,.... Of the vessels delivered, as follows: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver; these, according to Ben Melech, were vessels in

which water was put to wash hands in; but rather they were, as Aben Ezra observes from the Jerusalem Talmud (r), vessels in which they gathered the blood of lambs and bullocks slain for sacrifices: nine and twenty knives; which, because the handles of them were of gold or silver, were valuable, and might be very large knives, and what the priests used in slaying and cutting up the sacrifices. (r) T. Hieros. Yoma, fol. 41. 1.
