Knop: a word employed in the Authorized Version to translate two terms which refer to some architectural or ornamental object, but which have nothing in common. 1. Caphtor. --This occurs in the description of the candlestick of the sacred tent in Ex 25:31-36 and Exod 37:17-22 2. The second term, Peka'im, is found only in 1Ki 6:18 and 1Kin 7:24 The word no doubt signifies some globular thing resembling a small gourd or an egg, though as to the character of the ornament we are quite in the dark. |
