Genesis24:22
22 And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking; that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands, of ten shekels weight of gold.
(i. e.) Gave to her, as that word of taking, or receiving is oft used, as Gen. 12. 19. Exod. 18. 12. and 29. 25. Psal. 68. 18. compared with Eph. 4. 8.
So the word signifies, Gen. 35. 4. Exod. 32. 2, 3. Or jewels for the forehead, which hung down from the forehead to the nose, or between the eyes. So the word is used, ver. 47. Ezek. 16. 12.
Marginal references: Or, jewel for the forehead.
