A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
all sorts of things--Hebrew, "perfections"; exquisite articles of finery [GROTIUS].

clothes--rather, "mantles" or "cloaks"; literally, "wrappings." For "blue," HENDERSON translates, "purple."

chests of rich apparel, bound with cords--treasures or repositories of damask stuffs, consisting of variegated threads woven together in figures [HENDERSON].

cedar--The "chests" were made of cedar, in order to last the longer; and it also keeps off decay and has a sweet odor.
