Ver. 24. Which made silver shrines] Gr. temples, Templa portatilia, small portable temples, resembling that greater temple of Diana; as now the Agnus Dei (lamb of God) among the Papists. (Beza.) Some say they were little houses or caskets to put the idols in. (Casaubon.) Others, small coins stamped with the image of that famous temple. (Piscator.) Idolatrous trinkets they were, such as brought no small gain to the craftsmen, to whom gain was godliness.
