In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term in Exodus 38:17 and Exodus 38:19 as “the plating of their heads,” and in Isaiah 30:22 through “silver-covered” and “gold-plated.” Its treatment of the supplied occurrences in Numbers 17:3 and Numbers 17:4 does not isolate the term's contribution.
