Genesis 35:4

35:4

rings <05141> [ear-rings.]

These rings were not worn as mere ornaments, but for superstitious purposes; perhaps as amulets or charms, first consecrated to some false god, or formed under some constellation, and stamped with magical characters. Maimonides mentions rings and jewels of this kind, with the image of the sun, moon, etc., impressed upon them; and Augustine describes them (Epist. 73,) as used for this execrable purpose.

buried ..... oak <02934 0424> [hid them.]

oak <0424> [the oak.]
