Ezekiel 8:2

8:2

I watched <07200> [I beheld.]

glow <02830> [amber.]

Amber is a hard, inflammable, bituminous substance, of a beautiful yellow colour, very transparent, and susceptible of an exquisite polish. When rubbed it is highly endowed with electricity; a name which the moderns have formed from its Greek name [elektron.] But, as amber becomes dim as soon as it feels the fire, and is speedily consumed, it is probable that the original {chashmal,} which Bochart derives from the Chaldee {nechash,} copper, and {melala,} gold, was a mixed metal, similar to that which the Greeks called [elektron,] electrum, as the LXX. and Vulgate render, from its resemblance to amber in colour.


Ezekiel 44:4

44:4

way <01870> [the way.]

glory <03519> [the glory.]

threw <05307> [and I fell.]
