H4142 H4142
surrounded, encircled, set (as gems)
A passive verbal form describing items that are encircled, surrounded, or set in place. Most frequently it appears in descriptions of the high priest's breastplate, where precious stones were 'surrounded' or 'enclosed' in gold settings (Exodus 28:11, 39:6, 39:13). Ezekiel uses it architecturally to describe turning or pivoting doors in the temple vision (Ezekiel 41:24). The imagery suggests careful positioning within a framework, whether for gemstones in liturgical garments or doors in sacred architecture.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Describing objects that are surrounded, enclosed in settings, or positioned within a framework. The priestly contexts emphasize gems mounted in gold ('engastadas,' 'enclosed settings'), while Ezekiel's architectural use suggests pivoting or turning elements. The multilingual evidence shows some variation ('surrounded,' 'turning,' 'giratorias'), reflecting the term's application to both static enclosure and rotational movement. 4×
