| Exodus 28:36 | Thou shalt make also a plate of the purest gold: wherein thou shalt grave with engraver's work, Holy to the Lord. | Plate; reaching from ear to ear, two fingers' breadth, tied behind like a diadem, Wisdom 18:24. --- Holy, or "sanctity, belongeth to the Lord," and all who approach to Him, ought to be holy. (Calmet) --- Josephus represents the ornaments of the high priest's head, like the triple crown of the pope. (Antiquities 3:8.) |
