In Psalm 12 and many other quotes in the Torah, the refining of  silver is
mentioned. Can anyone explain how silver was refined in Biblical times. I
tried to look it up and every article mentions cupellation, but none of them
explain what it means or how it was done. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Kenneth Greifer
