Berean Strong's Lexicon tsamiyd: Bracelet, band, clasp, or chain Original Word: צָמִיד Word Origin: From the root צָמַד (tsamad), meaning "to bind" or "to fasten." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsamiyd," similar concepts of adornment and binding can be found in Greek words such as περιδέξιον (peridexion - bracelet) and κόσμος (kosmos - adornment). Usage: The Hebrew word "tsamiyd" refers to an ornamental band or bracelet, often used as a decorative item worn around the wrist or arm. It signifies something that is bound or fastened, typically for adornment. In biblical contexts, it can also imply a sense of attachment or connection, both physically and symbolically. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, jewelry such as bracelets and bands were common adornments for both men and women. They were often made of precious metals and stones, signifying wealth, status, or personal beauty. Bracelets could also serve as gifts or tokens of affection and were sometimes used in religious or ceremonial contexts.
