Necklace [1]
nek´lā́s ( רביד , rābhı̄dh , "chain"): A neck-chain ornament, worn either separately ( Ezekiel 16:11 ), or with pendants ( Isaiah 3:19 ), such as crescents ( Isaiah 3:18 ) or rings ( Genesis 38:25 ); sometimes made of gold ( Genesis 41:42; Daniel 5:29 ), or of strings of jewels ( Song of Solomon 1:10 ). Even beasts of burden were sometimes so adorned by royalty ( Judges 8:26 ). It was considered suggestive of pride ( Psalm 73:6 ) or of filial loyalty ( Proverbs 1:9 ). The word does not occur in the King James Version, but such adornments have always been popular in all the Bible lands.
