Strong's Lexicon anaq: Necklace, chain, ornament Original Word: עָנָק Word Origin: Derived from the root word עָנַק (anāq), 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 can be related to Greek words such as κόσμος (kosmos, Strong's G2889), which can mean "adornment" or "order," and περιδέραιον (perideraion, Strong's G4025), meaning "necklace." Usage: The Hebrew word "anaq" primarily refers to a necklace or an ornamental chain worn around the neck. It is often used in the context of adornment and beauty, symbolizing honor, status, or wealth. In biblical times, such ornaments were not only decorative but also held cultural and social significance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, jewelry such as necklaces was a common form of adornment for both men and women. These items were often made from precious metals and stones, signifying wealth and status. Necklaces could also serve as amulets or carry symbolic meanings, such as protection or blessing. In the biblical context, wearing a necklace could indicate favor or honor bestowed upon an individual.
