Exodus 32:3

32:3 So all the people broke off the gold earrings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.

Numbers 31:50

31:50 So we have brought as an offering for the Lord what each man found: gold ornaments, armlets, bracelets, signet rings, earrings, and necklaces, to make atonement for ourselves before the Lord.”

Isaiah 3:19

3:19 earrings, bracelets, veils,

Ezekiel 16:11

16:11 I adorned you with jewelry. I put bracelets on your hands and a necklace around your neck.

tn This “all” is a natural hyperbole in the narrative, for it means the large majority of the people.

tn Heb “our souls.”

sn The expression here may include the idea of finding protection from divine wrath, which is so common to Leviticus, but it may also be a thank offering for the fact that their lives had been spared.
