 * 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.

 # 25,26; Jer 22:24; Lu 15:22|
 * 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.
