Theological / Devotional

The weight. The weight of the golden earrings came to about 42 lb. 10 oz. (19.3 kg.). Gen. 24:22 records that a single earring may weigh as much as half a shekel.

Ornaments. Heb. saharonim (see on v. 21).

Collars. Heb. netiphot. That is, “drops.” They were a type of pendant for the ears.
