Chain:
Chains were used,
(1.) As badges of office;
(2.) For ornament;
(3.) For confining prisoners.
(4.) the gold chain placed about Joseph's neck (Genesis 41:42) and that promised to Daniel (Daniel 5:7) are instances of the first use. In Ezekiel 16:11, the chain is mentioned as the symbol of sovereignty.
(5.) Chains for ornamental purposes were worn by men as well as women (Proverbs 1:9; Judith 10:4). The Midianites adorned the necks of their camels with chains (Judges 8:21, 26). Step‐chains were attached to the ankle‐rings (Isaiah 3:16; 3:18).
(6.) The means adopted for confining prisoners among the Jews were fetters similar to our handcuffs (Judges 16:21; 2 Samuel 3:34; 2 Kings 25:7; Jeremiah 39:7). Among the Romans the prisoner was handcuffed to his guard, and occasionally to two guards (Acts 12:6-7; 21:33).
