Knop:
a word employed in the Authorized Version to translate two terms which refer to some architectural or ornamental object, but which have nothing in common.
(1.) Caphtor.-This occurs in the description of the candlestick of the sacred tent in Exodus 25:31-36 and Exodus 37:17-22.
(2.) The second term, Peka'im, is found only in 1 Kings 6:18 and 1 Kings 7:24. The word no doubt signifies some globular thing resembling a small gourd or an egg, though as to the character of the ornament we are quite in the dark.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
