Commentary on Ezra 8:27

Theological / Devotional

Vessels of fine copper. The translation is correct, but it is not known what kind of vessels is meant or what it was that made these copper vessels “precious as gold.” Some have thought they were highly polished and glittered like gold, others, that it was the highly valued orichalcum, an amalgam of brass.
