"Same word as in 1 Chron. xxxix. 2 (A.V. glistering

[stones]): probably, stones used for mosaic work (so

Targhere); as black marble, &c. In the two other places

where the word occurs (2 Kings ix. 30; Jer. iv. 30), it

denotes the paint which was used by females for colouring

the edges of the eyelids. Grotius notices (from Jos.

'J. W.' v. 5) that the open court of the temple had a

tesselated floor."--_Kay._

[3] Behold, it is _I_ who create the smith. . . . And it is _I_

who create the waster to destroy.--_Revised English Bible_

and _Cheyne._
