Genesis 38:25
The signet - chothemeth , properly a seal, or instrument with which impressions were made to ascertain property, etc. These exist in all countries.
Bracelets - pethilim , from pathal , to twist, wreathe, twine, may signify a girdle or a collar by which precedency, etc., might be indicated; not the muslin, silk, or linen wreath of his turban, as Mr. Harmer has conjectured.
Staff - matteh , either what we would call a common walking stick, or the staff which was the ensign of his tribe.
