<p> (צֹרֵ, '' | <p> (צֹרֵ, ''Tsoreph',),:A'' gold and silver worker ( Proverbs 25:4). (See [[Refiner]]). In Judges 17:4, our version renders the word "founder;" in Isaiah 41:7, "goldsmith." It refers especially-to the melting of fine metal. (See [[Furnace]]). The [[Egyptians]] carried the working of metals to a very extraordinary degree of perfection, as their various articles of jewelry preserved in our museums evince; and there is no doubt the Hebrews derived their knowledge of these arts from this source, though there is at the same time reference to their being known before the [[Flood]] ( Genesis 14:19-22). (See [[Metal]]). </p> | ||
