(Heb., tabba†™ath, to sink or seal; Gr., daktulios, to belong to a finger). This item of jewelry derived its name from its use as a seal. It became the symbol of authority (Gen 41:42-43; Es 3:10; Luk 15:22). The ring very early became valuable, as shown by Isaiah’s lament (Isa 3:18-23). Originally, the seal was worn on a chain or wire around the neck, but the need to secure it led to it being placed on the hand. The seal was an engraved stone, attached to the ring (Exo 28:11).

Circular piece that was used mostly for aesthetic purposes on the fingers, nose or ears. Some sign indicating the identity of the owner was also carved into it, as a symbol of authority, in the form of a seal. This is how it was stamped with the a. in soft clay or wax indicating who approved or sent or did something. That is why Pharaoh “removed his a. out of his hand, and put it into Joseph’s hand †, thus indicating his exaltation to his power (Gen 41:42). Ahasuerus’ decree “was written, and sealed with the a. of the king† (Es 3:12). It is therefore a symbol of authority. God promises †¢Zerubbabel that he will make him †œas a. to seal† (Age 2:23).
Give one. it meant granting dignity and acceptance to the person. When his affliction ended, Job’s relatives and friends gave him money † œand a. gold† each (Job 42:11). In the parable of the prodigal son, the father orders him to be named †œa. in his hand † (Luke 15:22). James warns not to discriminate in the congregation between a poor person and a “man with a. of gold† (Jas 2:2). It is also a symbol of beauty (“His hands, like a. of gold set with hyacinths”). †¢Jewels.

tip, META UTEN COSM COST Rings had various functions and uses, such as jewelry and seals (see). Like jewels, they were a sign of high position. There were nose rings worn by women (Gen. 24:47). The signet ring worn on the finger, or sometimes hung on a string across the chest, was considered an object of great value (Gen. 38:18; Song 8:6). Other rings denoted high social rank and high dignity and were therefore considered to be a luxury item. In some cases, by appearing in the booty, it was reserved for God (Gen. 41:42; Num. 31:50; Isa. 3:21; Est. 3:10, 12).

small hoop Both Hebrew, Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Greek, Roman, and other ancient men and women were in the habit of wearing ring ornaments of various kinds. They were worn on the nose, in the ears and on the fingers. (See EARRING; NOSE RING.) Materials used included gold, silver, brass, bronze, glass, iron, and ivory, and some rings even had stones set in them. The Egyptians had a particular predilection for rings with an image of the dung beetle, which for them was a symbol of eternal life. Among the many jewelry items found in the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun, a three-ring ring was found that had three scarabs, one made of lapis lazuli and two made of gold. In some Roman rings there were inscriptions alluding to mythology or even representations of their ancestors or friends.
In the illustration of the prodigal son, Jesus said that when he returned home, his father forgave him and ordered a ring to be placed on his hand. (Lu 15:22) This act demonstrated the father’s favor and affection, as well as the dignity, honor, and position accorded to this revived son. James, the half brother of Jesus, advised Christians not to show favoritism to those who were dressed in lavish clothing and wore gold rings on their fingers, a sign of wealth and social position. (Jas 2: 1-9) Similarly, the apostle Peter pointed out that spiritual adornment is much more important than such adornments, although he did not condemn their wearing. (1Pe 3:1-5.)
Signet rings. The Hebrew words for ring, signet ring, or signet ring come from a root whose basic meaning is “to sink” (Jer 38:6) and “to seal.” (1Ki 21:8) These terms seem to be related to the primary use of some ancient rings, that is, to make an impression on clay or wax by †˜sinking†™ or pressing it into it. These types of rings were made of gold, silver, or bronze, and some were set with an engraved stone bearing the owner’s name or symbol. The seal was fixed or rotating, like a roller. Some were worn hanging, probably from the neck, with an ornamental cord. (Ge 38:18, 25)
The signet ring of a ruler or official was a symbol of his authority (Ge 41:41, 42), and it was used to seal official documents or things that should not be altered, just as official seals are used today or signatures. (Es 3:10-13; 8:2, 8-12; Da 6:16, 17)
figurative use. In ancient times, the signet ring became a proverbial expression used to refer to valuable people or things. Jeremiah prophesied that King Coniah (Joachim) of Judah would not be spared calamity even if he were a † ˜signet ring on the right hand of Jehovah † ™. And indeed, Joaquín was dethroned after a very brief governorship. (Jer 22:24; 2Ki 24:8-15) Regarding faithful Zerubbabel, Jehovah said: “I will take you, and I will certainly set you as a signet ring, because you are the one whom I have chosen.” (Hag 2:23) Since Jehovah had officially appointed Zerubbabel to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, he was a valuable instrument to him, like a signet ring on his hand. Zerubbabel responded resolutely to the encouragement Jehovah gave him through the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, and carried forward the rebuilding work despite the fact that the king of Persia, unduly informed, had prohibited it. (Ezra 4: 24–5: 2) Jehovah continued to use his servant to carry out his purpose, and no human ruler was able to withdraw Zerubbabel from that privileged service.
