Border (2)

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

is generally the rendering of some form of the Heb. גְּבוּלּ, gebul', Gr. ὅρκος, a boundary-line, especially in the plural; also of several other Heb. words in a similar sense; but in Exodus 25:25; Exodus 25:27; Exodus 37:12; Exodus 37:14, it represents מַסְגֶרֶת, misge'reth, a margin, e.g. ornaments on the brazen stands or pedestals of the lavers, apparently square shields decorated with sculptures on the sides, 1 Kings 7:28-36; 2 Kings 16:17; and in Numbers 15:38, it stands for כָּנָ, kanaph', a wing, i.e. hem or fringe of a garment, like κράσπεδον in Matthew 23:5; while in Song of Solomon 1:11, it is תּוֹר, tor, a rowa or string of pearls or golden beads for the headdress.
