Strong's Lexicon tsamiyd: Bracelet, band, clasp, or chain Original Word: צָמִיד Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: tsamiyd Pronunciation: tsaw-meed' Phonetic Spelling: (tsaw-meed') Definition: a bracelet, arm-clasp, a lid Meaning: A bracelet, arm-clasp, or a lid. Word Origin: Derived from the root צָמַד (tsamad), which means "to bind" or "to fasten." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1199 (δέσμιος, desmios): Refers to a prisoner or one who is bound, highlighting the concept of being fastened or secured. - G2611 (κατακλείω, katakleio): Means to shut up or enclose, often used in the context of sealing or securing something tightly. Usage: The term צָמִיד is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to items that are fastened or bound, such as a bracelet or an arm-clasp. It can also refer to a lid that is tightly sealed. Context: The Hebrew word צָמִיד (tsâmîyd) appears in the context of items that are bound or fastened securely. In the cultural and historical context of the Bible, bracelets or arm-clasps were often used as decorative items or symbols of status and wealth. They were typically made of precious metals and sometimes adorned with jewels. The term is also used metaphorically to describe a lid that is tightly sealed, emphasizing the concept of security and containment. In the Berean Standard Bible, צָמִיד is used in passages that highlight the importance of secure fastening, whether in the context of jewelry or containers. For example, in Numbers 19:15, the term is used to describe a lid that is securely fastened to a vessel, ensuring that it remains uncontaminated: "And every open container without a lid fastened on it is unclean." The use of צָמִיד in the Bible reflects the broader cultural practices of the ancient Near East, where jewelry and containers played significant roles in daily life and religious practices. The emphasis on secure fastening underscores the value placed on protection and preservation, whether of personal adornments or household items.
