JEWEL.—Gen_24:53 ‘the servant brought forth jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.’ They were not jewels set in silver and in gold. Ornaments made of gold or silver were in older English called jewels. Now the word is confined to precious stones.

Jewel. See Stones, Precious.

jū?el, jōō?el: An ornament of gold, silver or of precious stones in the form of armlet, bracelet, anklet, nose-ring, etc. Oriental dress yields itself freely to such adornment, to which there are many allusions in Scripture. a frequent term in Hebrew is kelı̄ (?utensil,? ?vessel?), coupled with mention of ?gold? or ?silver? or both (Gen_24:53; Exo_3:22; Exo_11:2; Exo_12:35; Exo_35:22; 1Sa_6:8, 1Sa_6:15, etc.; the Revised Version (British and American) in 2Ch_32:27 translations ?vessels?). In Son_1:10, where the King James Version has ?rows (of jewels),? the Revised Version (British and American) has ?plaits (of hair)?; in Son_7:1, the word is from a root ḥālāh, meaning ?to adorn.? In 3 instances in the King James Version ?jewel? represents the Hebrew nezem (Pro_11:22; Isa_3:21; Eze_16:12); the American Standard Revised Version changes Pro_11:22 to ?ring? Septuagint here = ?earring?), and both the English Revised Version and the American Standard Revised Version have ?ring? in Eze_16:12. The familiar phrase in Mal_3:17, ?in that day when I make up my jewels,? becomes in the English Revised Version, ?in the day that I do make, even a peculiar treasure? (margin ?or, wherein I do make a peculiar treasure?), and in the American Standard Revised Version, ?even mine own possession, in the day that I make? (margin ?or, do this?). See, further, ORNAMENT; DRESS; STONES, PRECIOUS.

Gen_24:5.1 (c) In this passage the servant represents the Holy Spirit who brings gifts from the Father and the Son to the bride who will one day be at the marriage supper of the Lamb. Jewels are made by GOD. Men polish them and make them fit to be worn by the queen. These gems represent people which have been taken by the Lord, worked upon by Him, and prepared to bring joy to His heart throughout eternity. Only the Holy Spirit can do this work in the heart and life of a believer.

Pro_11:22 (a) This gem represents the attractiveness, loveliness and beauty of an unsaved woman. The swine with the snout represents the unrighteous life which this beautiful woman may live. The woman herself needs to be saved, and become a child of GOD, then these gems of beauty will really adorn the person.

Pro_20:15 (a) Beautiful and wise words adorn the lives of those who walk with GOD, and seek to please Him in their conversation.

Son_1:10 (c) This is a lover's comment on the beauty and the sweetness of the one to whom he is attracted. (See also Son_7:1; Isa_61:10). The joints represent her graceful movements and actions, making her attractive in all her work and ministry for her lover. Her words from the mouth are beautiful and her ways are also attractive.

Eze_16:12 (a) In this way is described the graces and beautiful characteristics which GOD gave to Israel in her balmy days of prosperity. (See also vss. Eze_16:17 and Eze_16:39; Eze_23:26).

Mal_3:17 (b) GOD's people are compared to beautiful gems. Through the vicissitudes of life they are polished and made fit for His presence. In Heaven GOD puts together for eternity those Christians who seem best suited to each other, whose nature makes them beautiful together, and probably they were those who lived and served together on the earth. Tares were bound in bundles to be burned, while GOD's people were arranged together to be honored and blessed.
