 It is thought that this last clause would be more correctly translated, “flagons to pour out withal.” The “dishes” may have been to contain the bread; the “spoons” to contain the frankincense (such were offered by the princes at the dedication of the altar, Num. 7:14, etc.). The “bowls” were perhaps for receiving the drink offerings poured out of the “flagons.” (The Table by S. Ridout)
 These vessels were: “dishes,” “spoons,” “covers” (or “flagons”) and “bowls.” The dishes may have been to hold the showbread; the spoon would serve for the frankincense, to put it upon the bread; the flagons and bowls would be used for the wine of the drink-offerings. Thus not only food is prepared, but the means of its orderly presentation, with its accompaniments of joy and delight. For surely God has His delight in Christ (the frankincense), and a joy which human hearts cannot fathom—a joy which the “blood of the grape” expresses, and which carries us back to the outpouring of that precious Life upon the cross. All this is surely presented to Him by the divine Son; and yet, in infinite grace, God delights to have His people about Him presenting the praises of Christ, so acceptable to Him. (The Table by S. Ridout)
