Chapiter

Easton, 1897

The ornamental head or capital of a pillar. Three Hebrew words are so rendered. (1.) Cothereth (1 Kings 7:16; 2 Kings 25:17; 2 Chronicles 4:12), meaning a "diadem" or "crown." (2.) Tzepheth (2 Chronicles 3:15). (3.) Rosh (Exodus 36:38; Exodus 38:17, Exodus 38:19, Exodus 38:28), properly a "head" or "top."
