Quick Reference DictionaryBeaten goldBeaten gold
Beaten gold
in Numbers 8:4 , means "turned" or rounded work in gold. The Greek Version, however, renders the word "solid gold;" the Revised Version, "beaten work of gold." In 1 Kings 10:16 1 Kings 10:17 , it probably means "mixed" gold, as the word ought to be rendered, i.e., not pure gold. Others render the word in these places "thin plates of gold."
