Ouches
ouchez, -iz (, mishbecoth (Exo 28:11, Exo 28:13, Exo 28:14, Exo 28:25; Exo 39:6, Exo 39:13, Exo 39:16, Exo 39:18) the American Standard Revised Version settings, but in Exo 39:13, inclosings): The secondary meaning of this now archaic word is the gold or silver setting of a precious stone. In Exodus, where it occurs 8 times, it is clear that the gold settings of the engraved stones forming the breast-plate of the high priest are intended; the onyx stones forming the fibula or brooch for holding together the two sides of the breast-plate being said to be enclosed in ouches (settings) of gold (Exo 39:6). Not only were these two onyx or beryl stones so set, but the 12 stones forming the front of the breast-plate were inclosed in gold in their settings (Exo 28:20). The same word occurs in Psa 45:13, where the king’s daughter is said to have her clothing in-wrought with gold, i.e. embroidered with gold thread or wire. Exo 39:3 tells us how this wire was produced. From this fact it may be inferred that the settings of the breast-plate were not solid pieces of gold, but were formed of woven wire wreathed round the stones, in a sort of filigree.
