What Does 1 Chronicles 28:17 Mean?
The list of furnishings continues with the smaller vessels of service: fleshhooks for the sacrifices, bowls, cups, and basins, each made of pure gold or silver and weighed out individually. Even the everyday tools of worship were given precious care.
That the humblest instruments were of pure gold shows that nothing in God's service was treated as common. The ordinary vessels of ministry were honored alongside the great. So too every small act of service offered to God is precious in His sight.
