(1) (נטיפה , neṭı̄phāh , plural נטיפות , neṭı̄phōth , literally, "drops," from נטף , nāṭaph , "to drop"). Judges 8:26 includes neṭı̄phōth among the spoils taken from the Midianites and Ishmaelites; the Revised Version (British and American) "pendants," the King James Version "collars." Ḳimḥi at the place suggests "perfume-dropper."
(2) (פה , peh , literally, "mouth"). In Job 30:18 the word is used to indicate the collar band, or hole of a robe, through which the head was inserted. Job, in describing his suffering and writhing, mentions the disfiguring of his garment, and suggests that the whole thing feels as narrow or close-fitting as the neckband, or perhaps that in his fever and pains he feels as if the neckband itself is choking him.
(3) (צינוק , cı̄nōḳ , Jeremiah 29:26 , "stocks"; the Revised Version (British and American) "shackles," which see; the Revised Version, margin "collar"). An instrument of torture or punishment.
