Usage: The term שֵׁרָה is used in the context of adornment, specifically referring to a decorative band worn around the wrist.

Context: The Hebrew word שֵׁרָה (sherah) appears in the context of ancient Hebrew culture as an ornamental accessory. It is typically understood as a bracelet or wrist-band, often crafted from precious metals or adorned with jewels. Such items were not only decorative but could also signify status or wealth. In biblical times, jewelry, including wrist-bands, was commonly worn by both men and women as a symbol of beauty and prosperity. The use of שֵׁרָה in the Hebrew Bible highlights the cultural importance of personal adornment and the aesthetic values of the ancient Israelites.
