Firepan:
one of the vessels of the temple service (Exodus 27:3; 38:3; 2 Kings 25:15; Jeremiah 52:19). The same word is elsewhere rendered "snuff‐dish," (Exodus 25:38; 37:23; Numbers 4:9) and "censer." (Leviticus 10:1; 16:12; Numbers 16:6) ff. There appear, therefore, to have been two articles so called: one, like a chafing‐dish, to carry live coals for the purpose of burning incense; another, like a snuffer‐dish, to be used in trimming the lamps, in order to carry the snuffers and convey away the snuff.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
