Bells
In (Exodus 28:33) the bells alluded to were the golden ones 72 in number, round the hem of
the his priest’s ephod. The object of them was so that his sound might be heard.” (Exodus 28:34)
Ecclus. 45:9. To this day bells are frequently attached, for the sake of their pleasant sound, to the
anklets of women. The little girls of Cairo wear strings of them around their feet. In (Zechariah
14:20) “bells of the horses” were concave or flat pieces of brass, which were sometimes attached
to horses for the sake of ornament.
Belshazzar
(prince of Bel), the last king of Babylon. In (Daniel 5:2) Nebuchadnezzar is called the father
of Belshazzar. This, of course, need only mean grandfather or ancestor. According to the well-known
narrative Belshazzar gave a splendid feast in his palace during the siege of Babylon (B.C. 538),
using the sacred vessels of the temple, which Nebuchadnezzer had brought from Jerusalem. The
miraculous appearance of the handwriting on the wall, the calling in of Daniel to interpret its
meaning the prophecy of the overthrow of the kingdom, and Belshazsar’s death, accorded in Dan.
