tsa.mid denotes an ornament worn on the hands or wrists, presented as jewelry or as a gold offering.

The attested use denotes ornaments placed on hands or wrists: they are given as jewelry in Genesis 24:22, Genesis 24:47, and observed on Rebekah’s hands in Genesis 24:30; they also occur in scenes of adornment and among articles of gold in Ezekiel 16:11, Ezekiel 23:42, and Numbers 31:50.

Senses in use

  1. Hand- or wrist-worn ornament · dominant

    The plural noun appears where ornaments are put on a woman’s hands in Genesis 24:22 and Genesis 24:47, and where they are seen on Rebekah’s hands in Genesis 24:30; in these clauses the APB renders them “bracelets.” Ezekiel 16:11 likewise places the plural on wrists, while Ezekiel 23:42 describes them being given to hands; the singular in Numbers 31:50 occurs among gold articles brought as an offering.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB consistently uses “bracelets” for the items on hands or wrists and among gold articles. That rendering confirms the verse-level presentation rather than independently defining the term.
