The concept of a crown is woven throughout both the Old and New Testaments, serving as a powerful metaphor for divine reward and human achievement.<br><br><b>Old Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, crowns are frequently associated with kingship and authority. The Hebrew word "nezer" (נֵזֶר) is often used to denote a crown or diadem, symbolizing consecration and separation unto God. For instance, the high priest wore a holy crown as part of his sacred garments (<a href="/exodus/29-6.htm">Exodus 29:6</a>). The crown signified his unique role and dedication to God.<br><br>The crown also appears in poetic and prophetic literature as a symbol of honor and blessing. In <a href="/proverbs/4-9.htm">Proverbs 4:9</a>, wisdom is personified and described as bestowing a "crown of beauty" upon those who embrace her. Similarly, in <a href="/isaiah/28-5.htm">Isaiah 28:5</a>, the Lord is described as a "crown of glory" for the remnant of His people, indicating divine favor and protection.<br><br><b>New Testament Usage</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek word "stephanos" (στέφανος) is commonly used for "crown," often referring to a victor's wreath awarded in athletic contests. This imagery is employed by the Apostle Paul to describe the Christian life as a race, with the faithful receiving an imperishable crown as their reward (<a href="/1_corinthians/9-25.htm">1 Corinthians 9:25</a>). The crown here symbolizes eternal life and the ultimate victory over sin and death.<br><br><a href="/james/1-12.htm">James 1:12</a> speaks of the "crown of life" promised to those who persevere under trial, highlighting the theme of endurance and faithfulness. Similarly, in <a href="/revelation/2-10.htm">Revelation 2:10</a>, the faithful in Smyrna are encouraged to remain steadfast, with the promise of receiving the crown of life as their reward for overcoming persecution.<br><br>The "crown of righteousness" is another significant New Testament concept, mentioned in <a href="/2_timothy/4-8.htm">2 Timothy 4:8</a>. Paul expresses his confidence in receiving this crown from the Lord, the righteous Judge, as a reward for his faithful service and longing for Christ's appearing. This crown represents the believer's ultimate vindication and reward at the final judgment.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Theological Significance</b><br><br>Theologically, crowns in the Bible symbolize the believer's reward for faithfulness, perseverance, and righteousness. They serve as a reminder of the eternal inheritance awaiting those who remain steadfast in their devotion to God. The imagery of crowns also underscores the Christian's call to live a life of holiness and dedication, striving for the eternal rewards promised by God.<br><br>In eschatological contexts, crowns are associated with the reign of Christ and the ultimate victory of God's kingdom. <a href="/revelation/19-12.htm">Revelation 19:12</a> describes Christ wearing many crowns, signifying His supreme authority and sovereignty over all creation. This imagery reinforces the belief in Christ's ultimate triumph and the establishment of His eternal kingdom.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>For believers, the concept of a crown serves as both an encouragement and a challenge. It encourages Christians to remain faithful in their walk with God, knowing that their labor is not in vain and that a glorious reward awaits them. It also challenges believers to live lives worthy of the calling they have received, striving for holiness and perseverance in the face of trials.<br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of a crown encompasses themes of authority, honor, victory, and eternal reward. It serves as a powerful symbol of the believer's hope and the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Crown</span><p>This ornament, which is both ancient and universal, probably originated from the fillets used to prevent the hair from being dishevelled by the wind. Such fillets are still common; they gradually developed into turbans, which by the addition of ornamental or precious materials assumed the dignity of mitres or crowns. Both the ordinary priests and the high priest wore them. The crown was a symbol of royalty, and was worn by kings, (<a href="/2_chronicles/23-11.htm">2 Chronicles 23:11</a>) and also by queens. (<a href="/esther/2-17.htm">Esther 2:17</a>) The head-dress of bridegrooms, (<a href="/ezekiel/24-17.htm">Ezekiel 24:17</a>; <a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a>) Bar. 5:2, and of women, (<a href="/isaiah/3-20.htm">Isaiah 3:20</a>) a head-dress of great splendor, (<a href="/isaiah/28-5.htm">Isaiah 28:5</a>) a wreath of flowers, (<a href="/proverbs/1-9.htm">Proverbs 1:9</a>; <a href="/proverbs/4-9.htm">4:9</a>) denote crowns. In general we must attach to it the notion of a costly <i>turban</i> irradiated with pearls and gems of priceless value, which often form aigrettes for feathers, as in the crowns of modern Asiatics sovereigns. Such was probably the crown which weighed (or rather "was worth") a talent, mentioned in (<a href="/2_samuel/12-30.htm">2 Samuel 12:30</a>) taken by David from the king of Ammon at Rabbah, and used as the state crown of Judah. (<a href="/2_samuel/12-30.htm">2 Samuel 12:30</a>) In (<a href="/revelation/12-3.htm">Revelation 12:3</a>; <a href="/revelation/19-12.htm">19:12</a>) allusion is made to "<i>many</i> crowns" worn in token of extended dominion. The laurel, pine or parsley crowns given to victors int he great games of Greece are finely alluded to by St. Paul.

The one represents such headdresses as we should designate coronet, band, miter, tiara, garland, etc. The other is generally applied to the headdresses of kings. </p><p>The former was a simple fillet or diadem around the head, variously ornamented. Newly-married persons of both sexes wore crowns on their wedding-day, So 3:11 <a href="/ezekiel/16-12.htm">Ezekiel 16:12</a>. </p><p>The crowns of kings were sometimes white fillets, bound round the forehead, the ends falling back on the neck; or were made of gold tissue, adorned with jewels. That of the Jewish high priest was a fillet, or diadem, tied with a ribbon of a hyacinth color, <a href="/exodus/28-36.htm">Exodus 28:36</a> 39:30. Occasionally the crown was of pure gold, and was worn by kings, <a href="/context/2_chronicles/23-11.htm">2 Chronicles 23:11</a>, sometimes when they went to battle, <a href="/2_samuel/1-10.htm">2 Samuel 1:10</a> 12:30.

The same Hebrew word so rendered (ne'zer) denotes the diadem worn by Saul in battle (<a href="/2_samuel/1-10.htm">2 Samuel 1:10</a>), and also that which was used at the coronation of Joash (<a href="/2_kings/11-12.htm">2 Kings 11:12</a>).<p>(2.) The more general name in Hebrew for a crown is 'atarah, meaning a "circlet." This is used of crowns and head ornaments of divers kinds, including royal crowns. Such was the crown taken from the king of Ammon by David (<a href="/2_samuel/12-30.htm">2 Samuel 12:30</a>). The crown worn by the Assyrian kings was a high mitre, sometimes adorned with flowers. There are sculptures also representing the crowns worn by the early Egyptian and Persian kings. Sometimes a diadem surrounded the royal head-dress of two or three fillets. This probably signified that the wearer had dominion over two or three countries. In <a href="/revelation/12-3.htm">Revelation 12:3</a>;<a href="/revelation/13-1.htm"> 13:1</a>, we read of "many crowns," a token of extended dominion.<p>(3.)

Crowns were worn sometimes to represent honour and power (<a href="/ezekiel/23-42.htm">Ezek. 23:42</a>). They were worn at marriages (Cant. 3:11; <a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a>, "ornaments;" R.V., "a garland"), and at feasts and public festivals.<p>The crown was among the Romans and Greeks a symbol of victory and reward. The crown or wreath worn by the victors in the Olympic games was made of leaves of the wild olive; in the Pythian games, of laurel; in the Nemean games, of parsley; and in the Isthmian games, of the pine. The Romans bestowed the "civic crown" on him who saved the life of a citizen. It was made of the leaves of the oak. In opposition to all these fading crowns the apostles speak of the incorruptible crown, the crown of life (<a href="/james/1-12.htm">James 1:12</a>; <a href="/revelation/2-10.htm">Revelation 2:10</a>) "that fadeth not away" (<a href="/1_peter/5-4.htm">1 Peter 5:4</a>, Gr. amarantinos; Comp. <a href="/1_peter/1-4.htm">1:4</a>). Probably the word "amaranth" was applied to flowers we call "everlasting," the "immortal amaranth."<p>Crown of thorns<p>Our Lord was crowned with a, in mockery by the Romans (<a href="/matthew/27-29.htm">Matthew 27:29</a>). The object of Pilate's guard in doing this was probably to insult, and not specially to inflict pain. There is nothing to show that the shrub thus used was, as has been supposed, the spina Christi, which could have been easily woven into a wreath. It was probably the thorny nabk, which grew abundantly round about Jerusalem, and whose flexible, pliant, and round branches could easily be platted into the form of a crown.

These express the several meanings, and must be examined to ascertain the same.<br><br>1. In Hebrew:<br><br>The five Hebrew words are as follows:<br><br>(1) qodhqodh, from qadhadh;<br><br>(2) zer, from zarar;<br><br>(3) nezer, or nezer, both from nazar;<br><br>(4) aTarah, from `atar;<br><br>(5) kether, from kathar.<br><br>(1) Qodhqodh means "the crown of the head," and is also rendered in the King James Version "top of the head," "scalp," "pate." It comes from qadhadh, meaning "to shrivel up," "contract," or bend the body or neck through courtesy. Both the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version, in <a href="/deuteronomy/28-35.htm">Deuteronomy 28:35</a> and 33:16, translation it "crown" instead of "top" as in the King James Version. Jacob in his prophecy concerning his sons says: "The blessings of thy father. shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that is prince among his brethren" (<a href="/genesis/49-26.htm">Genesis 49:26</a> the American Revised Version, margin).

"That which presses, binds" (BDB). Comes from zarar, meaning "to diffuse" or "scatter." It is used in <a href="/exodus/25-11.htm">Exodus 25:11, 24, 25</a>; <a href="/exodus/30-3.htm">Exodus 30:3, 1</a>; 37:2, 11, 12, 26, 27.<br><br>(3) Nezer means something "set apart"; i.e. a dedication to the priesthood or the dedication of a Nazarite, hence, a chaplet or fillet as a symbol of such consecration. The word in the King James Version is rendered "crown," "consecration," "separation," "hair." Comes from nazar, meaning "to hold aloof" from impurity, even from drink and food, more definitely, "to set apart" for sacred purposes, i.e. "to separate," "devote," "consecrate."

In the three places where it occurs (<a href="/revelation/12-3.htm">Revelation 12:3</a>; <a href="/revelation/13-1.htm">Revelation 13:1</a>; <a href="/revelation/19-12.htm">Revelation 19:12</a>) both the Revised Version (British and American) and the American Standard Revised Version translation it not "crowns" but "diadems," thus making the proper distinction between stephanos and diadema, such as is not done either in the King James Version or the Septuagint (see Trench, Synonyms of the New Testament). According to Thayer the distinction was not observed in Hellenic Greek "Diadems" are on the dragon (<a href="/revelation/12-3.htm">Revelation 12:3</a>), the beast (<a href="/revelation/13-1.htm">Revelation 13:1</a>) and on the Rider of the White Horse, "the Faithful and True" (<a href="/revelation/19-12.htm">Revelation 19:12</a>). In each case the "diadems" are symbolic of power to rule.<br><br>3. Use and Significance:<br><br>There are five uses of the crown as seen in the Scripture references studied, namely, decoration, consecration, coronation, exaltation, and remuneration. (1) Decoration.<br><br>The zer of Exodus, as far as it was a crown at all, was for ornamentation, its position not seeming to indicate any utility purpose. These wavelet, gold moldings, used in the furnishings of the tabernacle of Moses, were placed about<br><br>(a) the table of shewbread (<a href="/exodus/25-24.htm">Exodus 25:24</a>; <a href="/exodus/37-11.htm">Exodus 37:11</a>);<br><br>(b) the ark of the covenant (<a href="/exodus/25-11.htm">Exodus 25:11</a>; <a href="/exodus/37-2.htm">Exodus 37:2</a>);<br><br>(c) the altar of incense (<a href="/exodus/30-3.htm">Exodus 30:3, 1</a>; <a href="/exodus/37-26.htm">Exodus 37:26, 27</a>). The position of these crowns is a debated question among archaeologists. Their purpose other than decoration is not known. The encircling gold might signify gratitude, parity and enduring worth.<br><br>(2) Consecration.<br><br>The nezer had a twofold use as the crown of consecration:<br><br>(a) It was placed as a frontlet on the miter of the high priest, being tied with a blue lace (<a href="/exodus/39-30.htm">Exodus 39:30</a>). The priestly crown was a flat piece of pure gold, bearing the inscription, "Holy to Yahweh," signifying the consecration of the priest as the representative of the people (<a href="/exodus/29-6.htm">Exodus 29:6</a> <a href="/leviticus/8-9.htm">Leviticus 8:9</a>).<br><br>(b) Likewise the Hebrew king (<a href="/2_kings/11-12.htm">2 Kings 11:12</a>) was set apart by God in wearing on his head a royal nezer, whether of silk or gold we do not know. It was set with jewels (<a href="/zechariah/9-16.htm">Zechariah 9:16</a>) and was light enough to be taken into battle (<a href="/2_samuel/1-10.htm">2 Samuel 1:10</a>).<br><br>(3) Coronation.<br><br>The ordinary use of the crown. There were three kinds of kingly crowns used in coronation services:<br><br>(a) The nezer or consecration crown, above referred to, was the only one used in crowning Hebrew kings. What seems to be an exception is in the case of Joshua, who represented both priest and king (<a href="/zechariah/6-11.htm">Zechariah 6:11</a> the American Revised Version, margin).<br><br>(b) The `aTarah, and<br><br>(c) the kether were used in crowning foreign monarchs.<br><br>No king but a Hebrew could wear a nezer-a "Holy to Yahweh" crown. It is recorded that David presumed to put on his own head the `atarah of King Malcam (<a href="/2_samuel/12-30.htm">2 Samuel 12:30</a> the American Revised Version, margin). The kether or jeweled turban was the crown of the Persian king and queen (<a href="/esther/1-11.htm">Esther 1:11</a>; <a href="/esther/2-17.htm">Esther 2:17</a>; <a href="/esther/6-8.htm">Esther 6:8</a>).<br><br>(4) Exaltation.<br><br>The `atarah, the stephanos and the diadema were used as crowns of exaltation. Stephanos was the usual crown of exaltation for victors of games, achievement in war and places of honor at feasts. The `atarah was worn at banquets (<a href="/songs/3-11.htm">Songs 3:11</a> <a href="/isaiah/28-1.htm">Isaiah 28:1, 3</a>), probably taking the form of a wreath of flowers; also as a crown of honor and victory (<a href="/ezekiel/16-12.htm">Ezekiel 16:12</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/21-26.htm">Ezekiel 21:26</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/23-42.htm">Ezekiel 23:42</a>). Stephanos is the crown of exaltation bestowed upon Christ (<a href="/revelation/6-2.htm">Revelation 6:2</a>; <a href="/revelation/14-14.htm">Revelation 14:14</a> <a href="/hebrews/2-9.htm">Hebrews 2:9</a>). "Exaltation was the logical result of Christ's humiliation" (Vincent). The Apocalyptic woman and locusts receive this emblem of exaltation (<a href="/revelation/12-1.htm">Revelation 12:1</a>; <a href="/revelation/9-7.htm">Revelation 9:7</a>). The symbolic dragon and beast are elevated, wearing diadema, (<a href="/revelation/12-3.htm">Revelation 12:3</a>; <a href="/revelation/13-1.htm">Revelation 13:1</a>). The conquering Christ has "upon his head. many diadems" (<a href="/revelation/19-12.htm">Revelation 19:12</a>). Seefurther Tertullian, De corona.<br><br>(5) Remuneration.<br><br>Paul, witnessing the races and games, caught the vision of wreath-crowned victors flush with the reward of earnest endeavor. See<a href="http://bibleencyclopedia.com/games.htm">GAMES</a>. He also saw the persistent, faithful Christian at the end of his hard-won race wearing the symbolic stephanos of rejoicing (<a href="/1_thessalonians/2-19.htm">1 Thessalonians 2:19</a> the King James Version), of righteousness (<a href="/2_timothy/4-8.htm">2 Timothy 4:8</a>), of glory (<a href="/1_peter/5-4.htm">1 Peter 5:4</a>), of life (<a href="/james/1-12.htm">James 1:12</a> <a href="/revelation/2-10.htm">Revelation 2:10</a>). Paul's fellow Christians were his joy and stephanos (<a href="/philippians/4-1.htm">Philippians 4:1</a>), "of which Paul might justly make his boast" (Ellicott). Long before Paul, his Hebrew ancestors saw the `aTarah of glory (<a href="/proverbs/4-9.htm">Proverbs 4:9</a>) and the `aTarah of a good wife, children's children, riches and a peaceful old age (<a href="/proverbs/12-4.htm">Proverbs 12:4</a>; <a href="/proverbs/14-24.htm">Proverbs 14:24</a>; <a href="/proverbs/16-31.htm">Proverbs 16:31</a>; <a href="/proverbs/17-6.htm">Proverbs 17:6</a>). For Apocrypha references see 1 Maccabees 10:29; 11:35; 13:39.<br><br>William Edward Raffety<p><span class="encheading">CROWN OF THORNS</span><p>thornz (akdnthinos stephanos): Three of the four evangelists mention the crown of thorns, wherewith the rude Roman soldiers derided the captive Christ (<a href="/matthew/27-29.htm">Matthew 27:29</a> <a href="/mark/15-17.htm">Mark 15:17</a> <a href="/john/19-2.htm">John 19:2</a>). All speak of the akanthine (Acanthus) crown, but there is no certainty about the peculiar plant, from the branches of which this crown of cruel mockery was plaited. The rabbinical books. mention no less than twenty-two words in the Bible signifying thorny plants, and the word akantha in the New Testament Greek is a generic and not a specific term. And this word or its adjective is used in the three Gospels, quoted above. It is therefore impossible definitely to determine what was the exact plant or tree, whose thorny branches were selected for this purpose. Tobler (Denkbl., 113, 179) inclines to the Spina Christi, as did Hasselquist. Its botanical name is Zizyphus Spina Christi, It is very common in the East. Its spines are small and sharp, its branches soft, round and pliable, and the leaves look like ivy, with a dark, shiny green color, making them therefore very adaptable to the purpose of the soldiers. Others have designated the Paliurus aculeatus or the Lycium horridum. Both Geikie (Life of Christ, 549) and Farrar (Life of Christ, note 625) point to the Nubk (Zizyphus lotus). Says the latter, "The Nubk struck me, as it has all travelers in Palestine, as being most suitable both for mockery and pain, since its leaves are bright and its thorns singularly strong. But though the Nubk is very common on the shores of Galilee, I saw none of it near Jerusalem." The settlement of the question is manifestly impossible.<br><br>Henry E.
