Denotes the plate of gold in the front of the high priest' s mitre ( Ex. 29: 6; 39: 30). The same Hebrew word so rendered ( ne' zer) denotes the diadem worn by Saul in battle ( 2 Sam. 1: 10), and also that which was used at the coronation of Joash ( 2 Kings 11: 12). ( 2.) The more general name in Hebrew for a crown is _' atarah_, meaning a " circlet." This is used of crowns and head ornaments of divers kinds, including royal crowns. Such was the crown taken from the king of Ammon by David ( 2 Sam. 12: 30). The crown worn by the Assyrian kings was a high mitre, sometimes adorned with flowers. There are sculptures also representing the crowns worn by the early Egyptian and Persian kings. Sometimes a diadem surrounded the royal head- dress of two or three fillets. This probably signified that the wearer had dominion over two or three countries. In Rev. 12: 3; 13: 1, we read of " many crowns," a token of extended dominion. ( 3.) The ancient Persian crown ( Esther 1: 11; 2: 17; 6: 8) was called _kether_; i. e., " a chaplet," a high cap or tiara. Crowns were worn sometimes to represent honour and power ( Ezek. 23: 42). They were worn at marriages ( Cant. 3: 11; Isa. 61: 10, " ornaments;" R. V., " a garland"), and at feasts and public festivals. The crown was among the Romans and Greeks a symbol of victory and reward. The crown or wreath worn by the victors in the Olympic games was made of leaves of the wild olive; in the Pythian games, of laurel; in the Nemean games, of parsley; and in the Isthmian games, of the pine. The Romans bestowed the " civic crown" on him who saved the life of a citizen. It was made of the leaves of the oak. In opposition to all these fading crowns the apostles speak of the incorruptible crown, the crown of life ( James 1: 12; Rev. 2: 10) " that fadeth not away" ( 1 Pet. 5: 4, Gr. amarantinos; comp. 1: 4). Probably the word " amaranth" was applied to flowers we call " everlasting," the " immortal amaranth." |
