'Refined' in the Bible

The most sensitive and refined man among you will look grudgingly at his brother, the wife he embraces, and the rest of his children,

The most sensitive and refined woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her refinement and sensitivity, will begrudge the husband she embraces, her son, and her daughter,

the weight of refined gold for the altar of incense; and the plans for the chariot of the gold cherubim that spread out their wings and cover the ark of the Lord’s covenant.

100 tons of gold (gold of Ophir) and 250 tons of refined silver for overlaying the walls of the buildings,

Surely there is a mine for silverand a place where gold is refined.

The words of the Lord are pure words,like silver refined in an earthen furnace,purified seven times.

For You, God, tested us;You refined us as silver is refined.

Look, I have refined you, but not as silver;I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

Some of the wise will fall so that they may be refined, purified, and cleansed until the time of the end, for it will still come at the appointed time.

Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; none of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.

I will put this third through the fire;I will refine them as silver is refinedand test them as gold is tested.They will call on My name,and I will answer them.I will say: They are My people,and they will say: Yahweh is our God.”

so that the genuineness of your faith—more valuable than gold, which perishes though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

I advise you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire so that you may be rich, white clothes so that you may be dressed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, and ointment to spread on your eyes so that you may see.
