שֵׁרָה

# H8285: שֵׁרָה (Bracelet) The Hebrew word *sherah* designates a bracelet—a piece of jewelry worn around the wrist or arm. Based on the lexical data provided, this term appears only once in the biblical text, which severely limits what can be determined about its precise characteristics or cultural context from scriptural evidence alone. The single occurrence of this word in the Bible prevents us from establishing a detailed semantic range or identifying nuances in how it was used relative to other jewelry terms. We cannot determine from this data alone whether *sherah* referred to a specific style of bracelet, what materials it was made from, or whether it held particular symbolic or economic significance in ancient Israelite society. The hapax legomenon status (appearing only once) means we must treat this as a straightforward lexical item without broader contextual support for expanded meaning. What can be stated with certainty is that *sherah* represents a basic vocabulary item for adornment jewelry in biblical Hebrew. Its existence in the scriptural record confirms that bracelets were part of the material culture reflected in biblical texts, though the single reference provides minimal illustration of how this item functioned socially, economically, or symbolically in ancient Israelite life.
