Class of jewelry brought by both men and women as offerings (Exodus 35:22 ). The Hebrew term denotes a golden pin (the KJV has bracelets here; REB, “clasp”; TEV, “decorative pins”). At a later time brooches were bow shaped and made of bronze or iron. Some recent interpreters think “nose rings” were meant.
