13-89 
   The oblations and sacrifices enumerated in verses 13; to 88
   were simple and plain, though costly and magnificent.  On
   this occasion we find there were offered 12; silver chargers,
   each weighing 130; shekels; 12; silver bowls, each 70; shekels;
   12; golden spoons, each 10; shekels; making the total amount of
   silver vessels 2,400; shekels, and that of golden vessels, 120
   shekels.  A silver charger, at 130; shekels, reduced to troy
   weight, makes 75; oz. 9; dwts. 16; 8/31; gr.; and a silver bowl,
   at 70; shekels, amounts to 40; oz. 12; dwts. 21; 21/31; gr.  The
   total weight of the 12; chargers is therefore 905; oz. 16; dwts.
   3; 3/31; gr.; and that of the 12; bowls, 487; oz. 14; dwts. 20
   4/31; gr.; making the total weight of silver vessels 1,393; oz.
   10; dwts. 23; 7/31; gr.  The golden spoons, allowing each to be
   5; oz. 16; dwts. 3; 3/31; gr., amount to 69; oz. 3; dwts. 13; 5/31
   gr.  Besides these, there were for sacrifice--

                   Rams      .  .  .  .  .  . 12
                   Lambs     .  .  .  .  .  . 12
                   Goats     .  .  .  .  .  . 24
                   Rams      .  .  .  .  .  . 60
                   He goats  .  .  .  .  .  . 60
                   Lambs     .  .  .  .  .  . 60

   By this we may at once see, that though the place in which
   they now sojourned was a wilderness as to cities, villages,
   and regular inhabitants, yet there was plenty of pasturage;
   else the Israelites could not have furnished these cattle,
   with all the sacrifices necessary for different occasions,
   and especially for the passover, which must of itself have
   required an immense number of lambs, when each family of
   600,000; males was obliged to provide one.  (ch. 9.)
