“Ivory” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(elephant tooth), Much used by Hebrews (1 Kings 10:22; 2 Chron. 9:17-21; Ezek. 27:15).
“Tooth” From Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
The Jewish law of retaliation permitted the deprivation of “eye for eye, tooth for tooth”
(Ex. 21:24). The principle of this law was condemned by Christ (Matt. 5:38-42). Teeth used figuratively for the inheritable quality of sin (Ezek. 18:2); “cleanness of teeth” a figure for famine (Amos 4:6); “gnashing of teeth” indicative of rage and despair (Matt. 8:12).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
The well-known substance of which the tusks of the elephant consist. We read of beds of ivory, thrones of ivory, palaces of ivory, ivory houses, and all manner of vessels. The finest specimens were used for carving and the smaller were cut into veneers for covering surfaces (1 Kings 10:18; 1 Kings 22:39; Psa. 45:8; Song of Sol. 5:14; Song of Sol. 7:4; Amos 3:15; Amos 6:4; Rev. 18:12). It was imported into Palestine by the Assyrians and was brought by the ships of Solomon. Ancient ivories of Egypt and Assyria have been found.
