tongz ( מלקחים , melḳāḥayim ): This word is, where it occurs in the King James Version and the English Revised Version, with two exceptions, changed in the American Standard Revised Version into "snuffers" ( Exodus 25:38; Numbers 4:9; 2 Chronicles 4:21; see Snuffers ), The exceptions are 1 Kings 7:49 , "tongs of gold," and Isaiah 6:6 , "taken with the tongs from off the altar."
In Isaiah 44:12 , where another word ( מעצד , ma‛ăcādh ) is used, "the smith with the tongs" of the King James Version is changed in the Revised Version (British and American) into "the smith maketh an axe" (compare Jeremiah 10:3 ). See also Altar; Tools .
