Chain:
(1.) A part of the insignia of office. A chain of gold was placed about Joseph's neck (Gen 41:42); and one was promised to Daniel (Dan 5:7). It is used as a symbol of sovereignty (Eze 16:11). The breast-plate of the high-priest was fastened to the ephod by golden chains (Exd 39:17,21).
(2.) It was used as an ornament (Pro 1:9; Sgs 1:10). The Midianites adorned the necks of their camels with chains (Jdg 8:21,26).
(3.) Chains were also used as fetters wherewith prisoners were bound (Jdg 16:21; 2Sa 3:34; 2Ki 25:7; Jer 39:7). Paul was in this manner bound to a Roman soldier (Act 28:20; Eph 6:20; 2Ti 1:16). Sometimes, for the sake of greater security, the prisoner was attached by two chains to two soldiers, as in the case of Peter (Act 12:6).
