Chest
VIEW:16 DATA:01-04-2020
1. 'Aron, always, except twice (Joseph's coffin and Jehoiada's alms chest, Gen_50:26; 2Ki_12:9-10), used for the ark of the covenant; the "ark" (teebah) of Noah, and that of bulrushes in which Moses was put, is quite distinct.
2. Genazim, "chests of rich apparel" (Eze_27:24), from ganaz "to hoard."
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.
Chest. By this word, are translated, in the Authorized Version, two distinct Hebrew terms:
1. Aron; this is invariably used for the Ark of the Covenant, and, with two exceptions, for that only. The two exceptions alluded to are
(a) the "coffin" in which the bones of Joseph were carried from Egypt, Gen_50:26, and
(b) the "chest" in which Jehoiada, the priest, collected the alms for the repairs of the Temple. 2Ki_12:9-10; 2Ch_24:8-11.
2. Genazim, "chests." In Eze_27:24 only.

chest (ארון, 'ārōn, גּנזים, genāzı̄m; κιβωτός, kibōtós):
(1) The ark of the covenant in Old Testament is invariably denoted by the word 'ārōn, elsewhere rendered the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) ?chest.? See ARK.
(2) 'Ārōn is also the word rendered ?coffin? (Gen_50:26 : ?and he was put in a coffin in E.?). See COFFIN.
(3) In Kings and Chronicles (2Ki_12:9, 2Ki_12:10; 2Ch_24:8, 2Ch_24:10, 2Ch_24:11) 'ārōn stands uniformly for a money chest. It is the ?chest? that Jehoiada, the priest, placed in the court ?beside the altar? and ?bored a hole in the lid of? that the priests might ?put therein all the money that was brought into the house of Yahweh? (2Ki_12:9); and ?the chest? that King Joash commanded to be made and set ?without at the gate of the house of Yahweh? to receive ?the tax that Moses the servant of God laid upon Israel? (2Ch_24:8, 2Ch_24:10, 2Ch_24:11). One feature is common to the thing meant in all these applications - the c. was rectangular in shape, and, most probably in every instance, made of wood.
(4) Josephus (Ant., VI, 1, 2) uses the equivalent of the word to denote the ?coffer? (1Sa_6:8 English Versions), or small chest, in which the princes of Philistia deposited the gold mice.
(5) In New Testament times the ?chests? that were provided in the court of the women, in the temple of Herod, to receive the various kinds of money gifts had the exceptional shape of a trumpet (if Sheḳālı̄m, vi.5 may be trusted) - wide at the bottom and gradually narrowing toward the top, hence, called שׁופרות, shōphārōtȟ. It was into these that the Master was watching the multitude casting in their money when He saw the poor widow cast in her two mites (Mar_12:41, Mar_12:42).
(6) In Eze_27:24, where the prophet is giving an inventory of the merchandise of Tyre, another word entirely is used (genāzı̄m), and it is rendered in the King James Version and the Revised Version (British and American) ?chests? (?chests of rich apparel, bound with cords and made of cedar?). According to Cornill, Davidson, Smend and others this rendering is without sufficient support (see Smith, Dictionary of the Bible and commentary in the place cited.).

Chest
is the rendering in certain passages in the Auth. Vers. of two distinct Hebrew terms: אָרוֹןor אָרֹן, aron´ (from אָרָה, to gather; Sept. κιβωτός, Vulg. gazophylacium), invariably used for the Ark (q.v.) of the Covenant, and, with two exceptions, for that only. (It is instructive to be reminded that there is no connection whatever between this word and that for the "ark" of Noah, and for the "ark" in which Moses was hid among the flags [both תֵּבָה, tebah]). 'The two exceptions alluded to are (a) the " coffin" or mummy-case in which the bones of Joseph were carried from Egypt (Gen_1:26; rendered in the Targum of Ps.-Jon. by γλώσσοκομπν compare Joh_12:6 in Hebrew letters: the reading of the whole passage is very singular); and (b) the "chest" in which Jehoiada the priest collected the alms for the repairs of the Temple (2Ki_12:9-10; 2Ch_24:8-11). SEE COFFIN. 2. גֵּנָזַים, genazim´ (only in the plur.; from גָּנִז, to hoard, "chests," Eze_27:24; "treasures," Est_3:9; Est_4:7).
Many boxes of various forms have been discovered among the Egyptian monuments. Some of these had lids resembling the curved summit of a royal canopy, and were ornamented with the usual cornice: others had a simple flat cover, and some few a pointed summit, resembling the shelving roof of a house. The sides were secured with wooden nails and glue, and dovetailed together. This last kind of lid was divided into two parts, one of which alone opened, turning on two small pins at the base, on the principle of the doors of their houses and temples; and, when necessary, the two knobs at the top could be tied together and sealed. These boxes were frequently of costly materials, veneered with rare woods, or made of ebony inlaid with ivory, painted with various devices, or stained to imitate materials of a valuable nature; and the mode of fastening the lid, and the curious substitute for a hinge given to some of them, show that the former was entirely removed, and that the box remained open while used. When not veneered, or inlaid with rare wood, the sides and lid were painted, and those intended for the tombs, to be deposited there in honor of the deceased, had usually funereal inscriptions or religious subjects painted upon them, among which were offerings presented by members of their family. (See Wilkinson, Anc. Eg. 1:163; 2:116, abridgment.) SEE BOX.
Chest (ADDENDUM):
Among our English ancestors chests appear to have been very important pieces of furniture, serving as receptacles for every kind of goods: that required to be kept with a degree of care they were also placed in churches for keeping the holy vessels, vestments, etc. SEE CHESTS.
