<p> ''''' ouch´ez ''''' , - ''''' iz ''''' ( משׁבּצות , <i> ''''' mishbecōth ''''' </i> (&nbsp; Exodus 28:11 , &nbsp;Exodus 28:13 , &nbsp;Exodus 28:14 , &nbsp;Exodus 28:25; &nbsp;Exodus 39:6 , &nbsp;Exodus 39:13 , &nbsp;Exodus 39:16 , &nbsp;Exodus 39:18 ) the American Standard Revised Version "settings," but in &nbsp;Exodus 39:13 , "inclosings"): The secondary meaning of this now archaic word is the gold or silver setting of a precious stone. In Exodus, where it occurs 8 times, it is clear that the gold settings of the engraved stones forming the breast-plate of the high priest are intended; the onyx stones forming the fibula or brooch for holding together the two sides of the breast-plate being said to be "enclosed in ouches (settings) of gold" (&nbsp;Exodus 39:6 ). Not only were these two onyx or beryl stones so set, but the 12 stones forming the front of the breast-plate were "inclosed in gold in their settings" (&nbsp;Exodus 28:20 ). The same word occurs in &nbsp;Psalm 45:13 , where the king's daughter is said to have her clothing "in-wrought with gold," i.e. embroidered with gold thread or wire. &nbsp;Exodus 39:3 tells us how this wire was produced. From this fact it may be inferred that the settings of the breast-plate were not solid pieces of gold, but were formed of woven wire wreathed round the stones, in a sort of filigree.
