the pots, and the shovels

on 2 Kings 25:14-17

The smaller vessels, pots, shovels, snuffers, spoons and firepans, are taken by their metal, gold set apart from silver, while the bulk brass is simply broken. The pillar's height at eighteen cubits with a three cubit chapiter, the wreathen work and the pomegranates, repeats the casting description of 1 Ki 7:15-16 almost word for word, the inventory that opened the temple's furnishing closing it here in the same terms. The brass of all these vessels was without weight, an echo of the same phrase used of the sea's original casting.
