Four-square it shall be<\/B><\/I>] Here we have the exact dimensions of this breastplate, or more properly breast-piece<\/I> or stomacher<\/I>. It was a span<\/I> in length and breadth when doubled<\/I>, and consequently two spans long one way before it was doubled. Between these doublings, it is supposed, the Urim<\/I> and Thummim<\/I> were placed. See Clarke on <\/span>Ex 28:30<\/span><\/span>.<\/P><\/p>\n It was doubled<\/B> for greater strength, that it might better support and secure the precious stones which were put into it, and that it might receive the Urim and Thummim, Lev 8:8<\/span>. <\/P> <\/p>\n Four square it shall be, [being] doubled<\/strong>,…. That is, when it was doubled; for the length of it, according to Maimonides c, was a cubit, which is two spans, and so, when it was doubled, was but one, and its length and breadth being alike, as follows:<\/p>\n a span [shall be] the length thereof, and a span [shall be] the breadth<\/strong> thereof; a square, which is the measure, the form of the new Jerusalem, the church of Christ, Re 21:16<\/span> and may denote the perfection, firmness, and immovableness of it, Ps 125:1<\/span>. Some have thought that this breastplate was doubled, in order to have something enclosed in it: some imagine, that within this fold were put the Urim and Thummim, which they suppose to be two words engraved on a stone, and different from the twelve stones in it; others, that the name of Jehovah was written and put there, as the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi on Ex 28:30<\/span> and other Jewish writers, and others, fancy some little images were put within these folds, the name with the teraphim, and supposed to be the Urim and Thummim; but if these were hid in the folds, they could not be seen when consulted; it is most probable there is nothing put within the double, which was not done for any such use; but most likely that it might be strong to bear the weight of the precious stones, put in ouches of gold upon it.<\/p>\n c Cele Hamikdash, c. 9. sect. 6.<\/p>\n (16) Foursquare it shall be.<\/strong>On the idea of perfection connected with the square, see Note on Exo. 27:1<\/span>. But for this, twelve gems would probably have been arranged in the shape of an oblong.<\/p>\n Doubled.<\/strong>Symmachus translates khoshen <\/em>by <\/em>, <\/em>a receptacle or bag; and if the Urim and the Thummim, being material objects, were to be put in it (Exo. 28:30<\/span>), such a construction would seem to have been absolutely necessary. Hence the doubling, which would not have been needed merely for strength, since linen corselets, stout enough to resist the blow of a sword, were among the manufactures of Egypt, and could no doubt have been produced by the Hebrews.<\/p>\n A span.<\/strong>The span was reckoned at half a cubit, or about nine inches.<\/p>\n 16<\/strong>. <\/strong> Foursquare it shall be doubled <\/strong> Being a span<\/strong>, that is, half a cubit (about 9 . 5 inches) in length <\/strong> and breadth<\/strong>, the doubling or folding of it would form a kind of bag, adapted to contain the Urim and Thummim .<\/p>\n span.
