With rows of Jewells.

The Hebrew word Torim, rows, comming from the Singular Tor, it signifies an ordinary distribution or disposition of things, and hath affinity with Thorah, a Law, which commeth of the root Jarah, which signifies to dart, or to cast forth, and it implieth an orderly dispo∣sing of doctrine; and in Scripture an orderly disposition is put for an explaination of the word Law; David said, Is this the Law of man, &c. 2 Sam. 7. 19. which another Prophet speaketh in this wise, Thou hast regarded me ac∣cording to the order (or disposition) of a man of high de∣gree, O Lord, 1 Chron. 17. 17. So the Law of God is an orderly disposition of his precepts, proposing of them to us as a rule of life. The same word or is also used for a Turtle-Dove, which some therefore take here to be Jewells or Ornaments that had the figures of Turtle Doves.
