<p> is an erroneous translation in the [[A.]] [[V.]] of two Heb. words: חֲשֻׁקַים '', chashukim', joinings'' (comp. &nbsp;Exodus 38:17; &nbsp;Exodus 38:28; &nbsp;Exodus 27:17), the poles or rods which served to join together the tops of the columns .around the court of the tabernacle (q.v.), and from which the curtains were suspended (&nbsp;Exodus 27:10-11; &nbsp;Exodus 36:38; &nbsp;Exodus 38:10-12; &nbsp;Exodus 38:17; &nbsp;Exodus 38:19). חוּט, ''chut,'' a ''thread'' (as elsewhere rendered), a measuring-line 12 cubits long for the circumference of the pillars of copper in Solomon's [[Temple]] (&nbsp;Jeremiah 52:21). (See [[Column]]); (See [[Garland]]). </p>

<p> '''''fil´et''''' ( חוּט , <i> '''''ḥūṭ''''' </i> , חשׁק , <i> '''''ḥāshuḳ''''' </i> ): </p> <p> (1) <i> '''''Ḥūt''''' </i> , from a root not used, meaning probably "to sew," therefore a string or a measuring rod or cord, and so a line, tape, thread, fillet. &nbsp;Jeremiah 52:21 translated "line" (the King James Version "fillet"), measuring 12 cubits long, encircling brass pillars standing 18 cubits high, part of the temple treasure plundered by the Chaldeans; and many other things "that were in the house of Yahweh, did the [[Chaldeans]] break in pieces." [[Translated]] "thread," used by Rahab, in &nbsp; Joshua 2:18 , and "cord," "Three fold ... is not quickly broken," in &nbsp;Ecclesiastes 4:12 . </p> <p> (2) <i> '''''Ḥāshuḳ''''' </i> , from a root meaning "to join" and therefore something joined or attached, and so a rail or rod between pillars, i.e. a fillet. The hangings of the court of the tabernacle were supported by brass pillars set in brass sockets, "The hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver" (&nbsp;Exodus 27:10 , &nbsp;Exodus 27:11 ). The embroidered screen for the door of the Tent was supported by five pillars socketed in brass: "And he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold" (&nbsp;Exodus 36:38 ). The pillars for the court and the gate of the court had fillets of silver (&nbsp;Exodus 38:10 ). The verb is used in &nbsp;Exodus 27:17; &nbsp;Exodus 38:17 , "All the pillars of the court were <i> filleted </i> with silver." </p>
