Subjects in this Topic:
KNOP.—Another form of ‘knob,’ is used to render two different words in EV [Note: English Version.] . 1. The knops of the stem and arms of the golden candlestick, or rather lampstand, of the Tabernacle (Exo_25:31 etc.) were the spheroidal ornaments still recognizable in the representation on the Arch of Tit_2:1-15. Knops also denote certain ornaments, probably egg- or gourd-shaped, carved on the cedar lining of the walls of Solomon’s Temple (1Ki_6:18—note RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ), and similar ornaments on the ‘brazen sea’ (1Ki_7:24).
