(38) Tongs . . . snuffdishes.--"Tongs," or pincers, were required for trimming the wicks of the lamps, and removing loose portions; "snuffdishes" for receiving the fragments thus removed.

Verse 38. - The tongs thereof. Tongs or pincers were required for trimming the wicks of the lamps. Compare 1 Kings 7:49; 2 Chronicles 4:21. Snuff-dishes were also needed for the reception of the fragments removed from the wicks by the tongs. "Snuffers," though the word is used in Exodus 37:23, in the place of tongs, had not been indented, and were indeed unknown to the ancients.
