Usage: The verb עָנַק (ʿānaq) is used in the context of adorning or equipping, often with a focus on the act of placing a necklace or similar adornment around the neck. It can also imply the provision of supplies or equipping someone for a journey or task.

Context: The Hebrew verb עָנַק (ʿānaq) appears in the Old Testament with the primary sense of adorning or equipping. This term is often associated with the act of placing a necklace or similar adornment around the neck, symbolizing honor, beauty, or preparation. The act of adorning with a necklace can be seen as a metaphor for equipping or preparing someone, either physically or spiritually.

In the context of the Old Testament, the use of עָנַק can be seen in passages where individuals are adorned with jewelry or other items that signify status or readiness. The act of adorning is not merely for aesthetic purposes but often carries deeper symbolic meanings, such as the bestowal of honor or the preparation for a significant role or journey.

The concept of adorning or equipping is also reflected in the broader cultural practices of the ancient Near East, where jewelry and adornments were used to signify wealth, status, and divine favor. In biblical narratives, the act of adorning with a necklace or similar item can serve as a narrative device to highlight transformation, preparation, or the conferring of a new identity or role.
