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 Exo 29:6 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. grave upon it: Exo 28:9, Exo 28:11 HOLINESS: Exo 39:30; Lev 8:9, Lev 10:3, Lev 19:2; Psa 93:5; Eze 43:12; Zac 14:20; Heb 7:26; Heb 12:14; Pe1 1:15, Pe1 1:16, Pe1 2:9; Rev 21:27 Exodus 28:37
