Such chains are often seen round the necks of Persian officials in the Persepolitan sculptures, and appear also to have been used by the grandees of Egypt. They were composed of a number of gold wires twisted together.

The meaning of the Hebrew word migaloth is very doubtful. Jarchi and Rosemuller approve of the rendering of our translators. Geddes, Boothroyd, and Dathe render "chains of equal length." Gesenius, Kalisch, Canon Cook, and others, believe the true meaning to be "wreathed," or "of wreathen work," so that the next clause, "after the manner of a rope," would be simply exegetic. Of wreathen work. Literally, "after the manner of a rope." Cords of twisted gold wire were frequently used, instead of chains, by the Egyptians. <a href="/commentaries/exodus/28-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>and two וּשְׁתֵּ֤י (ū·šə·tê) Conjunctive waw | Number - fdc <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8147.htm">Strong's 8147: </a> Two (a cardinal number) chains שַׁרְשְׁרֹת֙ (šar·šə·rōṯ) Noun - feminine plural construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8333.htm">Strong's 8333: </a> A chain, a garland of pure טָה֔וֹר (ṭā·hō·wr) Adjective - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2889.htm">Strong's 2889: </a> Clean, pure gold, זָהָ֣ב (zā·hāḇ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2091.htm">Strong's 2091: </a> Gold, something gold-colored, as oil, a clear sky made תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה (ta·‘ă·śeh) Verb - Qal - Imperfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6213.htm">Strong's 6213: </a> To do, make of braided מִגְבָּלֹ֛ת (miḡ·bā·lōṯ) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4020.htm">Strong's 4020: </a> Twisted things, cords cord עֲבֹ֑ת (‘ă·ḇōṯ) Noun - common singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5688.htm">Strong's 5688: </a> Something intwined, a string, wreath, foliage work; מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה (ma·‘ă·śêh) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4639.htm">Strong's 4639: </a> An action, a transaction, activity, a product, property and attach וְנָתַתָּ֛ה (wə·nā·ṯat·tāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5414.htm">Strong's 5414: </a> To give, put, set [these] הָעֲבֹתֹ֖ת (hā·‘ă·ḇō·ṯōṯ) Article | Noun - common plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5688.htm">Strong's 5688: </a> Something intwined, a string, wreath, foliage chains שַׁרְשְׁרֹ֥ת (šar·šə·rōṯ) Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_8333.htm">Strong's 8333: </a> A chain, a garland to עַל־ (‘al-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5921.htm">Strong's 5921: </a> Above, over, upon, against the settings. הַֽמִּשְׁבְּצֹֽת׃ (ham·miš·bə·ṣōṯ) Article | Noun - feminine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4865.htm">Strong's 4865: </a> A brocade, a, setting of a, gem <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/exodus/28-14.htm">Exodus 28:14 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/exodus/28-14.htm">OT Law: Exodus 28:14 And two chains of pure gold (Exo.
