Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 11. - With the work of an engraver. Rather, "an artificer." The engravings of a signet. Signets in Egypt were ordinarily rings, on the bezel of which the name of the owner was inscribed. Some were of solid gold; others with cylindrical bezels of glass or hard stone. On the early use of such signet rings in Egypt see Genesis 41:42. Cylinders, strung round the wrist and engraved with a name and titles, were common in Mesopotamia from B.C. 2000. Ouches of gold. Settings in open-work or filagree seem to be intended - a kind of setting which is very common in Egyptian ornaments.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(11) The engravings of a signet.--Compare Note 2 on Exodus 28:9. Signets had been already mentioned in Genesis 38:18; Genesis 38:25; Genesis 41:42. Those of Egypt were for the most part rings, with cylindrical bezels turning upon an axis. Those of Babylonia were cylinders, which were commonly worn by a string round the wrist. The engraving of the Babylonian cylinders is frequently of a very fine quality.Thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.--The setting intended seems to have been a sort of open or filigree work, such as is very common in Egyptian ornaments of the time. The term "ouche"--more properly "nouch"--is derived from the old French "nouche,"a buckle or clasp (see Skeat's Etymol. Dict., ?5).
