  Chest
     (Heb. _'aron_, generally rendered "ark"), the coffer into which
     the contributions for the repair of the temple were put (2 Kings
     12:9, 10; 2 Chr. 24:8, 10, 11). In Gen. 50:26 it is rendered
     "coffin." In Ezek. 27:24 a different Hebrew word, _genazim_
     (plur.), is used. It there means "treasure-chests."
