Strong's Lexicon agil: Ring, Circle Original Word: עָגִיל Word Origin: Derived from the root עָגַל (agal), which means "to revolve" or "to go in a circle." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "agil," the concept of rings and circular ornaments can be related to Greek words like δακτύλιος (daktulios), meaning "ring," which appears in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew word "agil" primarily refers to a circular object, often used to describe a ring or an ornament. In the context of the Bible, it is typically associated with jewelry, particularly earrings or nose rings, which were common adornments in ancient Near Eastern cultures. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, jewelry such as rings and earrings were not only decorative but also held cultural and social significance. They could indicate wealth, status, or even be used as currency. Rings were often made of precious metals and sometimes adorned with gemstones. The use of such ornaments is well-documented in archaeological findings and ancient texts, reflecting their importance in daily life and ceremonial occasions.
