Let's research the word "earring
(s)"
The word “earrings” is used many ways
in scripture.
Notice this verse:
Ezek. 16 [12] And I put a jewel
on thy forehead, and earrings in thine
ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head.
---------------
Gen. 24 [22] And it
came to pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the man took a golden
earring of half a shekel weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten
shekels weight of gold;
[30] And it
came to pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon his sister's
hands, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his
sister, saying, Thus spake the man unto me; that he
came unto the man; and, behold, he stood by the camels at the well.
[47] And I
asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she
said, The daughter of Bethuel,
Nahor's son, whom Milcah
bare unto him: and I put the earring upon her face, and the bracelets
upon her hands.
Gen. 35 [4] And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in
their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob
hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
Exod. 32 [2] And
Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the
ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto
me.
[3] And all
the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and
brought them unto Aaron.
Exod. 35 [22] And
they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought
bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and
every man that offered offered an offering of gold
unto the LORD.
Num. 31 [50] We have
therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath gotten, of
jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and tablets, to
make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
Judg. 8 [24] And
Gideon said unto them, I would desire a request of you, that ye would give me
every man the earrings of his prey. (For they had
golden earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)
[25] And
they answered, We will willingly give them. And they
spread a garment, and did cast therein every man the earrings of his
prey.
[26] And the
weight of the golden earrings that he requested was a thousand and seven
hundred shekels of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that
was on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains
that were about their camels' necks.
Job 42 [11] Then
came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that
had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house:
and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had
brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
Prov. 25 [12] As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold,
so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
Isa. 3 [20] The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the
headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
**********
Ezek.16
[1] Again the word of the LORD came unto
me, saying,
[2] Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know her abominations,
[3] And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto
Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was
an Amorite, and thy mother an Hittite.
[4] And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast
born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed
in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all,
nor swaddled at all.
[5] None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have
compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the
open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day
that thou wast born.
[6] And when I passed by thee, and saw thee
polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when
thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee
when thou wast in thy blood, Live.
[7] I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou
hast increased and waxen great, and thou art come to excellent ornaments: thy
breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown,
whereas thou wast naked and bare.
[8] Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time
was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee,
and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee,
and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord
GOD, and thou becamest mine.
[9] Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly
washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
[10] I clothed thee also with broidered work, and shod thee with
badgers' skin, and I girded thee about with fine linen, and I covered thee with
silk.
[11] I decked thee also with ornaments, and I put bracelets upon thy
hands, and a chain on thy neck.
[12] And I put a jewel on thy forehead, and earrings in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine
head.
[13] Thus wast
thou decked with gold and silver; and thy raiment was of fine linen, and silk,
and broidered work; thou didst eat fine flour, and honey, and oil: and thou wast exceeding beautiful, and thou didst prosper into a
kingdom.
[14] And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty: for it was
perfect through my comeliness, which I had put upon thee, saith
the Lord GOD.
Hos. 2 [13] And I
will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she
burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her
jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me,
saith the LORD.
