Isaiah 3:19 - Exposition
The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers ; rather, the ear-drops , and the armlets , and the veils . Earrings were worn from very ancient times by both the Assyrians and the Egyptians. The ring had frequently a pendant hanging from it. Men wore armlets in Assyria, and both men and women in Egypt (Lepsius, 'Denktamer,' pt. 3. pl. 1). Yells have always been regarded in the East as almost a necessary part of female attire.
