רַתּוֹק: chain [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1512/7569/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.\[m.\] chain (on form LagBN 89);—abs. עֲשֵׂה הָר׳ Ez 7:23, i.e. for captives, but very dub.; Co עָרֹה וּבָקוֹק, Krae עֹשֵׂי הַבַּתּוֹק (ב׳ = Assyrian butâḳu, obstruction); hence perhaps also pl. cstr. רַתּוּקוֹת זָהָב 1 K 6:21 Qr (Kt רתיקות), chains of gold before the דְּבִיר in temple.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 of its verses cited, 1 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (2 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 1 with the glosses (2 candidates)
