But for this, twelve gems would probably have been arranged in the shape of an oblong. Doubled.--Symmachus translates khoshen by ??????, "a receptacle" or "bag;" and if the Urim and the Thummim, being material objects, were to be "put in" it (Exodus 28:30), such a construction would seem to have been absolutely necessary. Hence the "doubling," which would not have been needed merely for strength, since linen corselets, stout enough to resist the blow of a sword, were among the manufactures of Egypt, and could no doubt have been produced by the Hebrews. A span.--The "span" was reckoned at half a cubit, or about nine inches. Verse 16. - Four square... being doubled. It has been generally supposed that the doubling was merely for the purpose of giving additional strength to the work, which was to receive twelve heavy gems; but Gesenius and others are of opinion that the object was to form a bag, in which the Urim and Thum-mira, which they regard as material objects, might be kept. A span. Half a cubit, or about nine inches. 28:15-30 The chief ornament of the high priest, was the breastplate, a rich piece of cloth, curiously worked. The name of each tribe was graven in a precious stone, fixed in the breastplate, to signify how precious, in God's sight, believers are, and how honourable. How small and poor soever the tribe was, it was as a precious stone in the breastplate of the high priest; thus are all the saints dear to Christ, however men esteem them. The high priest had the names of the tribes, both on his shoulders and on his breast, which reminds us of the power and the love with which our Lord Jesus pleads for those that are his. He not only bears them up in his arms with almighty strength, but he carries them in his bosom with tender affection. What comfort is this to us in all our addresses to God! The Urim and Thummim, by which the will of God was made known in doubtful cases, were put in this breastplate. Urim and Thummim signify light and integrity. There are many conjectures what these were; the most probable opinion seems to be, that they were the twelve precious stones in the high priest's breastplate. Now, Christ is our Oracle. By him God, in these last days, makes known himself and his mind to us, Heb 1:1,2; Joh 1:18. He is the true Light, the faithful Witness, the Truth itself, and from him we receive the Spirit of Truth, who leads into all truth.Jump to Previous Breadth Double Doubled Folded Foursquare Four-Square Hand-Stretch Length Span Square Thereof Wide WidthJump to Next Breadth Double Doubled Folded Foursquare Four-Square Hand-Stretch Length Span Square Thereof Wide WidthLinks Exodus 28:16 NIVExodus 28:16 NLT Exodus 28:16 ESV Exodus 28:16 NASB Exodus 28:16 KJV Exodus 28:16 Bible Apps Exodus 28:16 Biblia Paralela Exodus 28:16 Chinese Bible Exodus 28:16 French Bible Exodus 28:16 German Bible Alphabetical: a and be double folded in is It length long shall span square to wide width OT Law: Exodus 28:16 It shall be square and folded double (Exo.
