gar'-nish (tsippah, shiphrah; kosmeo):
The word is used twice in the Old Testament. In2Ch 3:6, tsippah means "to overlay," or "to plate." Thus, he "garnished" the house or "overlaid" it, "studded" it, with precious stones, and thus adorned and beautified it. InJob 26:13, shiphrah is a feminine noun meaning "fairness," "beauty," "brilliancy." "By his Spirit the heavens are garnished," i.e. the clouds are driven off by the wind or breath of Yahweh, and the sky made bright and clear.
In the New Testament (Mt 12:44;23:29) the word kosmeo means "set in order," "make ready," "adorn," etc. InMt 25:7it is translated "trimmed," and inRe 21:19"adorned."
