Text:EBD:Beaten gold
Revision as of 13:42, 26 October 2008 by Kathleen.wright5 (talk | contribs) (Beaten gold (EBD) moved to Text:EBD:Beaten gold)
In Num. 8:4, means "turned" or rounded work in gold. The Greek Version, however, renders the word "solid gold;" the Revised Version, "beaten work of gold." In 1 Kings 10:16, 17, it probably means "mixed" gold, as the word ought to be rendered, i.e., not pure gold. Others render the word in these places "thin plates of gold."
