Hammered silver The phrase "hammered silver" refers to the process of refining and shaping silver into desired forms, often used in idol-making. In the Hebrew context, the word for "hammered" (Hebrew: רָקַע, raqa) implies a process of beating or spreading out, indicating the laborious effort put into creating these objects. This highlights the futility of idol worship, as these idols are mere human creations, lacking divine power or life. is brought from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz the work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith Their clothing is blue and purple all fashioned by skilled workers Uphaz.--Possibly an error of transcription, or dialectical variation, for Ophir, giving the meaning "gold-coast."

A place bearing this name, or anything like it, is not known from other sources than the Old Testament writings; and hence a corruption of the text has naturally been suspected (Ophir into Uphaz). As, however, r and z are not easily confounded, either in the earlier or the later Hebrew characters, this view must be abandoned, though it has the authority of several ancient versions of this passage (including the Peshite and the Targum). The name occurs again in Daniel 10:5. The Peshite, moreover, curiously enough, translates zahab mufaz in 1 Kings 10:18 (Authorized Version, "the best gold") by "gold from Ophir." Blue and purple. The Hebrew has no word, strictly speaking, for either "blue" or "purple." Both these words here used probably express coloring matter rather than colors (this is certain of the latter word, which properly designates a kind of mussel, the shell of which yielded dye). The first produced a violet purple, the second a reddish purple.Parallel Commentaries ...
