This noun describes an ornamental chain or necklace, a symbol of honor and status. In Genesis 41:42, Pharaoh places a gold chain around Joseph's neck as part of his elevation to second-in-command, a visible mark of authority and favor. Ezekiel 16:11 uses it in the allegory of Jerusalem as God's adorned bride, where divine love lavishes ornamental chains alongside bracelets and other jewels. Such chains signified both beauty and rank, making them appropriate symbols of transformation from prisoner to prince or from foundling to royal consort.
