The use of rings is mentioned in various contexts throughout the Scriptures, reflecting their cultural and spiritual importance. Symbol of Authority and Power Rings often symbolized authority and power, particularly in the context of sealing documents. In <a href="/genesis/41-42.htm">Genesis 41:42</a>, Pharaoh gives Joseph his signet ring, signifying Joseph's new position of authority over Egypt: "Then Pharaoh removed the signet ring from his finger, put it on Joseph’s finger, clothed him in garments of fine linen, and placed a gold chain around his neck." The signet ring was used to stamp official documents, serving as a mark of authenticity and command. Similarly, in the book of Esther, King Xerxes gives his signet ring to Haman (<a href="/esther/3-10.htm">Esther 3:10</a>) and later to Mordecai (<a href="/esther/8-2.htm">Esther 8:2</a>), indicating the transfer of royal authority and the power to enact decrees. Covenant and Commitment Rings also symbolize covenant and commitment. In the parable of the prodigal son, the father places a ring on his returning son's finger as a sign of restored sonship and acceptance (<a href="/luke/15-22.htm">Luke 15:22</a>): "But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet.'" This act signifies the son's reinstatement into the family and the father's unconditional love and forgiveness. Adornment and Wealth Rings were also worn as ornaments, indicating wealth and status. In <a href="/james/2-2.htm">James 2:2</a>, the presence of a man wearing a gold ring is used to illustrate partiality within the church: "Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in." This passage highlights the societal tendency to judge based on outward appearances, using the ring as a symbol of wealth. Cultural Practices In ancient Near Eastern cultures, rings were often made of gold, silver, or other precious materials and could be intricately designed. They were worn by both men and women and could be found on fingers, ears, and even noses, as seen in <a href="/genesis/24-22.htm">Genesis 24:22</a>, where Abraham's servant gives Rebekah a gold nose ring as a token of betrothal: "And after the camels had finished drinking, he took out a gold ring weighing a beka and two gold bracelets weighing ten shekels." Spiritual Significance The spiritual significance of rings can also be seen in their use as symbols of divine favor and protection. In the prophetic vision of <a href="/zechariah/3-9.htm">Zechariah 3:9</a>, the Lord speaks of engraving an inscription on a stone, which some scholars associate with the imagery of a signet ring, symbolizing God's covenant and promise to His people. Overall, rings in the Bible serve as multifaceted symbols, representing authority, covenant, wealth, and divine favor. Their presence in biblical narratives underscores their importance in the cultural and spiritual life of the ancient world.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>RingThe ring was regarded as an indispensable article of a Hebrew's attire, inasmuch as it contained his signet. It was hence the symbol of authority. (<a href="/genesis/41-42.htm">Genesis 41:42</a>; <a href="/esther/3-10.htm">Esther 3:10</a>) Rings were worn not only by men, but by women. (<a href="/isaiah/3-21.htm">Isaiah 3:21</a>) We may conclude from (<a href="/exodus/28-11.htm">Exodus 28:11</a>) that the rings contained a stone engraven with a device or with the owner's name. The custom appears also to have prevailed among the Jews of the apostolic age. (<a href="/james/2-2.htm">James 2:2</a>)<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Used as an ornament to decorate the fingers, arms, wrists, and also the ears and the nose. Rings were used as a signet (<a href="/genesis/38-18.htm">Genesis 38:18</a>). They were given as a token of investment with authority (<a href="/genesis/41-42.htm">Genesis 41:42</a>; <a href="/esther/3-8.htm">Esther 3:8</a>-10; <a href="/esther/8-2.htm">8:2</a>), and of favour and dignity (<a href="/luke/15-22.htm">Luke 15:22</a>). They were generally worn by rich men (<a href="/james/2-2.htm">James 2:2</a>). They are mentioned by Isiah (<a href="/james/3-21.htm">3:21</a>) among the adornments of Hebrew women. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

Tabba`ath, the principal Hebrew word, is from Tabha`, "sink," either because the ring is something "cast" or molded, or, more probably, since the principal use of the ring was as a seal, because it "sank" into the wax or clay that received the impression. In Exodus, Tabba`ath, "ring," is a detail of furniture or equipment, as the rings of the ark through which the staves were thrust (<a href="/exodus/25-12.htm">Exodus 25:12</a>, etc.), rings for curtains, in the high priest's ephod (<a href="/exodus/28-28.htm">Exodus 28:28</a>; <a href="/exodus/39-21.htm">Exodus 39:21</a>), etc. Its other use was perhaps the original, to describe the article of personal adornment worn on the finger, apparently in the Old Testament always a signet-ring, and as such an indispensable article of masculine attire. Such a ring Pharaoh gave Joseph as a symbol of authority (<a href="/genesis/41-42.htm">Genesis 41:42</a>); and Ahasuerus gave Haman (<a href="/esther/3-10.htm">Esther 3:10</a>); with it the royal missive was sealed (<a href="/esther/3-12.htm">Esther 3:12</a>; <a href="/esther/8-8.htm">Esther 8:8</a> twice, 10). It was also a feminine ornament in Isaiah's list of the fashionable feminine paraphernalia, "the rings and the nose-jewels" (quite likely rings also) (<a href="/isaiah/3-21.htm">Isaiah 3:21</a>). Either as ornaments or for their intrinsic value, or both, rings were used as gifts for sacred purposes from both men and women: "brooches, and ear-rings, and signet-rings" (margin "nose-rings") (<a href="/exodus/35-22.htm">Exodus 35:22</a>); "bracelets, rings (the American Standard Revised Version "signet-rings"), ear-rings" (<a href="/numbers/31-50.htm">Numbers 31:50</a> the King James Version). chotham, "signet," mentioned in <a href="/genesis/38-18.htm">Genesis 38:18, 25</a> <a href="/exodus/28-11.htm">Exodus 28:11, 21, 36</a> <a href="/exodus/39-6.htm">Exodus 39:6, 14, 30</a> <a href="/jeremiah/22-24.htm">Jeremiah 22:24</a> <a href="/haggai/2-23.htm">Haggai 2:23</a>, etc., was probably usually a seal ring, but in <a href="/nasb/genesis/38.htm">Genesis 38</a> and elsewhere the seal may have been swung on wire, and suspended by a cord from the neck. It was not only an identification, but served as a stamp for signature. galil, "circle" (compare "Galilee," "Circle" of the Gentiles), rendered "ring" in <a href="/esther/1-6.htm">Esther 1:6</a> <a href="/songs/5-14.htm">Songs 5:14</a>, may rather mean "cylinder" or "rod" of metal. Earring (which see) in the King James Version is from totally different words: nezem, whose etymology is unknown, aghil, "round," or lachash, "amulet"; so the Revised Version (British and American). The "rings" of the wheels in <a href="/ezekiel/1-18.htm">Ezekiel 1:18</a> (the King James Version) are gabh, "curved," and mean "rims" (American Standard Revised Version), "felloes." Egyptians especially wore a great profusion of rings, principally of silver or gold, engraved with scarabaei, or other devices. In the New Testament the ring, daktulios, "finger-ring," is a token of means, position, standing: "put a ring on his hand" (<a href="/luke/15-22.htm">Luke 15:22</a>). Perhaps also it included the right to give orders in his father's name. To be chrusodaktulios, "golden-ringed," perhaps with more than one, indicated wealth and social rank: "a man with a gold ring" (<a href="/james/2-2.htm">James 2:2</a>).
