Strong's Lexicon anaq: Necklace, chain, or ornament Original Word: עָנַק Word Origin: Derived from the root word עָנַק (anaq), meaning "to be tall" or "to be long-necked." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "anaq," the concept of adornment and jewelry can be related to Greek words such as κόσμος (kosmos), meaning "adornment" or "order," and περιδέραιον (perideraion), meaning "necklace." Usage: The Hebrew word "anaq" primarily refers to a necklace or ornamental chain worn around the neck. It is often used in the context of adornment and beauty, symbolizing honor, status, or wealth. In biblical literature, it can also metaphorically represent wisdom or grace when used in poetic language. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, jewelry such as necklaces was a significant part of personal adornment. They were not only decorative but also served as indicators of social status and wealth. Necklaces could be made from various materials, including gold, silver, and precious stones, and were often given as gifts or used in religious ceremonies. The use of "anaq" in the Bible reflects these cultural practices, emphasizing the value and beauty associated with such ornaments.
