<< Ezra 1:8 Ezra 1:10 >>
Ezra 1:9
Chargers - The word in the original thus translated occurs only in this passage. Its meaning is doubtful. Some derive it from a Hebrew root, "to hollow out," and translate "cup" or "vessel."
Knives - This is another doubtful word, only used here. The etymology points to some employment of basket-work.
