Crown, wreath — a circlet of royalty, honor, or blessing, both literal headpiece and figurative emblem of dignity
The Hebrew עֲטָרָה denotes a crown or wreath worn on the head as a mark of royal authority, festive honor, or divine blessing. David places the captured Ammonite crown on his own head (2 Sam 12:30), and Mordecai wears a golden crown from the Persian king (Esth 8:15). Figuratively, a capable wife is her husband's crown (Prov 12:4), gray hair is the crown of the aged (Prov 16:31), and grandchildren crown the elderly (Prov 17:6). Zechariah's prophetic crowns of silver and gold foreshadow a priestly-royal figure (Zech 6:11, 14). The word moves seamlessly between regal splendor and metaphorical honor, unified by the image of something placed atop the head as a sign of distinction.
