Dict: easton - Earrings

easton:

Earrings @ rings properly for the ear kjv@Genesis:35:4; kjv@Numbers:31:50; kjv@Ezekiel:16:12). In kjv@Genesis:24:47 the word means a nose-jewel, and is so rendered in the Revised Version. In kjv@Isaiah:3:20 the Authorized Version has "ear-rings," and the Revised Version "amulets," which more correctly represents the original word (lehashim), which means incantations; charms, thus remedies against enchantment, worn either suspended from the neck or in the ears of females. Ear-rings were ornaments used by both sexes kjv@Exodus:32:2).
