plat : A term seemingly not used in the Bible for a dish as it is so commonly used at present, but always for a tablet or sheet of metal. (1) ציץ , cı̄c ( Exodus 28:36; Exodus 39:30; Leviticus 8:9 ), a plate of gold on the front of the mitre of the high priest. The name seems to have been given because of the radiance of the object. (2) פּח , paḥ (Exodus 39:3; Numbers 16:38 ), of plates or sheets of metal produced by hammering. (3) לוּח , lūaḥ , used for tablets or tables of stone (Exodus 24:12 , etc.), but in 1 Kings 7:36 for the metal plates on the bases of the lavers in the temple. The word סרן , ṣeren , is rendered "plate" in 1 Kings 7:30 the King James Version, manifestly incorrectly, the Revised Version (British and American) "axle."
