Exodus 28:36

Exodus 28:36

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge · Canne, Browne, Blayney, Scott, and others · Public Domain

a plate of pure gold: The word tzitz:, which we translate a plate, properly signifies a flower. It is rendered by the LXX πεταλον:, a leaf, and is called nezer:, a crown in and διαδημα:, a diadem, by the author of the book of Wisdom, 28:24. Josephus says that it was adorned with three rows of the flower which the Greeks call κυανος:. It was two fingers broad, of a circular form, suited to the shape of the head, and so long that it reached from ear to ear, and was fastened upon a blue lace or ribband, which was tied behind the head; and as the plate reached only half round the head, the remaining part of the ribband was highly ornamented with artificial flowers.
