And Things Of The Bible -- Amulets
Amulets were ornaments, gems, scrolls. etc.. worn as preservatives
against the power of enchantments, and generally inscribed with mystic
forms or characters. The "earrings" in (Genesis 35:4) were
obviously connected with idolatrous worship and were probably amulets
taken from the bodies of the slain Shechemites. They are subsequently
mentioned among the spoils of Midian. (Judges 8:24) In (Hosea 2:13) is
another like reference. The "earrings" in (Isaiah 3:20) were
also amulets.
