Tablets

Concise Bible Dictionary:

In the Old Testament the word kumaz signifies ornaments (Ex. 35:22²²And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the Lord. (Exodus 35:22); Num. 31:50⁵⁰We have therefore brought an oblation for the Lord, what every man hath gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the Lord. (Numbers 31:50)). In Isaiah 3:20²⁰The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, (Isaiah 3:20) they are supposed to be receptacles for perfume. The margin reads “houses of the soul,” which agrees with the Hebrew beth nephesh. See TABLE.
