Comments: Treasure Chest
From Easton: Chest, (Heb. _'aron_, generally rendered "ark"), the coffer into which the contributions for the repair of the temple were put (2 Kings 12:9, 2 Kings 12:10; 2 Chronicles 24:8, 2 Chronicles 24:10, 2 Chronicles 24:11). In Genesis 50:26 it is rendered "coffin." In Ezekiel 27:24 a different Hebrew word, _genazim_ (plur.), is used. It there means "treasure-chests."
