(See AMULET.)
In the O.T. the word kumaz signifies ornaments. Ex 35:22; Nu 31:50. In Isa 3:20 they are supposed to be receptacles for perfume. The margin reads 'houses of the soul,' which agrees with the Hebrew beth nephesh. See TABLE.
Both the men and women came all whose hearts prompted them and brought brooches, earrings, rings, pendants, and all kinds of gold jewelry. Every person presented a wave offering of gold to the LORD.
We've brought offerings to the LORD from whatever each man found jewel-encrusted gold, anklets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces to make atonement for ourselves in the LORD's presence."
