Usage: The term עָנָק (ʿānāq) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a necklace or chain worn around the neck, typically as an adornment or symbol of dignity. Context: The Hebrew word עָנָק (ʿānāq) appears in the context of jewelry and adornment, signifying a necklace or chain. In ancient Israelite culture, necklaces were not merely decorative but also carried symbolic meanings, often representing wealth, status, or favor. The use of עָנָק in the Hebrew Scriptures highlights the cultural importance of such adornments. For instance, in Proverbs 1:9, the wisdom and instruction of parents are metaphorically described as "a graceful garland for your head and a necklace for your neck," illustrating the value and beauty of wisdom as an adornment. Similarly, in Song of Solomon 4:9, the beloved is captivated by the beauty of the bride, likening her adornments to a necklace. These references underscore the aesthetic and symbolic significance of necklaces in biblical times.
