In biblical times, bracelets were not only ornamental but also held significant cultural and symbolic value. They were often given as gifts to signify wealth, status, or a special relationship. The Bible provides several instances where bracelets are mentioned as presents, highlighting their importance in ancient society.

One of the earliest references to bracelets as gifts is found in the account of Rebekah. In Genesis 24, Abraham's servant, seeking a wife for Isaac, encounters Rebekah at a well. After she offers water to him and his camels, he presents her with gifts as a token of her kindness and suitability. Genesis 24:22 states, "And after the camels had finished drinking, the man took out a gold ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels, and he gave them to Rebekah." These bracelets were not only a sign of wealth but also served as a betrothal gift, indicating Rebekah's future role in Abraham's family.

In another instance, bracelets are mentioned in the context of spoils of war. In Numbers 31, after the Israelites' victory over the Midianites, they collected various items as plunder, including bracelets. Numbers 31:50 records the offering of these items to the Lord: "So we have brought as an offering to the LORD the gold articles each of us acquired—armlets, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces—to make atonement for ourselves before the LORD." Here, bracelets are part of the wealth accumulated and dedicated to God, reflecting their value and significance.

The prophet Ezekiel also references bracelets in a metaphorical context, illustrating the adornment of Jerusalem. In Ezekiel 16:11-12 , God describes how He adorned Jerusalem with jewelry: "I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck. I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head." This imagery underscores the beauty and honor bestowed upon Jerusalem, with bracelets symbolizing divine favor and blessing.

Throughout the Bible, bracelets as presents are emblematic of wealth, commitment, and divine favor. They serve as tangible expressions of relationships, whether in the context of marriage, victory, or divine blessing. The giving of bracelets in biblical narratives reflects the cultural and spiritual values of the time, emphasizing their role as meaningful gifts.Genesis 24:22
And it came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten shekels weight of gold;
