     * Thy signet.
       {Chothem,} or {chothemeth,} as in ver. 25, is properly a
       ring-seal, with which impressions were made to ascertain
       property, etc.  From Jer 22:24, we find that it was worn on
       the hand; though it might also have been suspended from the
       neck by a ribband, as the Arabs still wear it.

     * bracelets.
       {Pathil,} from {pathal,} to twist, wreathe, may denote either
       a wreath for the arm or neck, a twisted collar, or bracelet.
       In the former sense the LXX. render it by [ormiskon,] and
       Aquila and Symmachus by [strepton;] and in the latter sense,
       the Vulgate renders it by {armillam.}  It may have been a
       collar by which the signet was suspended; though its being
       used in the plural seems to favour the opinion of its being a
       bracelet.

     * gave it her.
