Amulets: were ornaments, gems, scrolls. etc.. worn as preservatives against the power of enchantments, and generally inscribed with mystic forms or characters. The "earrings" in Ge 35:4 were obviously connected with idolatrous worship and were probably amulets taken from the bodies of the slain Shechemites. They are subsequently mentioned among the spoils of Midian. Jud 8:24 In Ho 2:13 is another like reference. The "earrings" in Isa 3:20 were also amulets. |
