mirrors, polished metal surfaces used for seeing one's reflection
This word refers to mirrors, polished metal surfaces used for viewing one's reflection. It appears in Exodus 38:8 describing the bronze basin in the tabernacle: it was made 'from the mirrors of the serving women who served at the entrance of the tent of meeting'. These mirrors were likely polished bronze, donated by women for sacred purposes. The term emphasizes the object as an instrument of seeing oneself. The voluntary sacrifice of personal beauty items for worship demonstrates devotion.

1. sense 1 — Polished metal mirrors used for seeing one's reflection. In Exodus, Israelite women donate their bronze mirrors to create the laver for priestly washings. The transformation of personal vanity items into sacred objects carries symbolic weight—what served self-regard now serves divine service. Ancient mirrors were valuable possessions, making this gift significant. All translations render this as 'mirrors'. 1×
