Description and usage
The pot was a bronze container used to collect the ashes and animal remains that were on the altar after the sacrificial victim had been burned. The same implement could serve, in another context, as a simple, fairly large cooking pot (see Cooking pot, kettle).
Translation
See the comments at Tabernacle and Temple implements above.
JER 52:18; JER 52:19 mentions sir two times as an object carried off to Babylon. It is not clear if two different items are referred to by the same name or if one item has been listed twice. Almost all translations consulted include the same word twice. ZEC 14:20; ZEC 14:21 speaks of a time when even common things will be put to holy use. The sir in verse 20 is the Temple implement described here, while the sir in verse 21 is the everyday pot in every home in Judah, which will one day be put into service like a Temple implement.
