containing the golden altar of incense and the gold-covered ark of the covenant. Inside the ark were the gold jar of manna, Aaron’s staff that had budded, and the stone tablets of the covenant.

Revelation 1:12 χρυσᾶς golden

Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,

and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.

This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Revelation 4:4 χρυσοῦς. golden.

Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and on these thrones sat twenty-four elders dressed in white, with golden crowns on their heads.

When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp, and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.

Revelation 15:6 χρυσᾶς. golden.

And out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues, dressed in clean and bright linen and girded with golden sashes around their chests.

Revelation 15:7 χρυσᾶς golden

Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.

The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls. She held in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality.

Revelation 21:15 χρυσοῦν golden

The angel who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod to measure the city and its gates and walls.

Here: Made of gold. The form can go with either 'measure' or 'reed'; the sense is the same. Gold fits the city of pure gold (21:18) and the gold of the temple's holy furniture. Ezekiel's and John's earlier reeds were ordinary; this one belongs to the holy city.
