This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





The man took, i.e. gave to her, (as that word of taking, or receiving, is oft used, as Gen_12:19 Exo_18:12 29:25 Psa_68:18, compared with Eph_4:8),



a golden earring; so the word signifies, Gen_35:4 Exo_32:2,3. Or, jewels for the forehead, which hung down from the forehead to the nose, or between the eyes. So the word is used, Gen_24:47 Eze_16:12.
