Dict: easton - Chest



easton:



Chest @ (Heb. 'aron, generally rendered "ark"), the coffer into which the contributions for the repair of the temple were put ( kjv@2Kings:12:9-10; kjv@2Chronicals:24:8-10, 11). In kjv@Genesis:50:26 it is rendered "coffin." In kjv@Ezekiel:27:24 a different Hebrew word, genazim (plur.), is used. It there means "treasure-chests."



Chestnut tree @ (Heb. 'armon; i.e., "naked"), mentioned in connection with Jacob's artifice regarding the cattle kjv@Genesis:30:37). It is one of the trees of which, because of its strength and beauty, the Assyrian empire is likened kjv@Ezekiel:31:8; R.V., "plane trees"). It is probably the Oriental plane tree (Platanus orientalis) that is intended. It is a characteristic of this tree that it annually sheds its outer bark, becomes "naked." The chestnut tree proper is not a native of Palestine.
