A Gold Chain About Joseph’s Neck
Pharaoh put a gold chain about Joseph’s neck at the time of Joseph’s exaltation. Bracelets and chains are often mentioned in the Bible. Eliezer gave Rachel bracelets that weighed ten shekels. The Jewish women are still addicted to wearing heavy bracelets. But bracelets and chains were worn by men of noble birth and officials of high rank. Belshazzar placed a gold chain around the neck of Daniel. Saul had a bracelet around his arm. The same kinds of chains and bracelets can be found on arms and around necks today in the Land of the Bible.
