Tablet
Tablet is the inaccurate rendering in the A.V. of two Heb. words designating some kind of female ornament.
1. כִּוּמָז, kumâz (so called, according to Gesen., from the globular form; but, according to Fürst, a locket or clasp; Sept. ἐμπλόκια καὶ περιδέξια, Vulg. dextralia, in Ex 35:22; ἐμπλόκιον, muraenulae, in Nu 31:50), probably drops hung like beads in a string around the neck or arm, as described by ancient authors on Arabia (Diod. Sic. 3, 44, 50; Strabo, 16:277).
2. בָּתֵּי הִנֵּפֶשִׁ, bottey hanne'phesh, houses of the soul (Isa 3:20, Sept. δακτύλιοι,Vulg. olfactoriola), i.e. perfume-bottles of essences or smelling-salts kept in lockets suspended about the person. SEE ORNAMENT.
