Barnes' Notes
Brass - Render copper. See Gen 4:22 note. The verse is curious as illustrating the variety of metals in use at this early date for domestic purposes. All these metals were common in Egypt centuries…
Further injunctions given by Eleazar, drawing a distinction between objects which could not stand purification by fire, and metals which could.
