Hephzibah Set (Garnet)

Hephzibah Set - Garnet

This beautiful sterling silver hand crafted necklace and earring set has the Hebrew word Hephzibah with garnet colored stones accenting the edges.  Translated from the original Hebrew, Hephzibah literally means, “My delight is in her".

In Old Testament times, the Israelites understood the power behind a name. Whether there was actual spiritual blessing or power imparted through a God-given name, or whether the names given powerfully influenced the thoughts and beliefs of persons about themselves, the names of the Old Testament characters in many ways predicted or foreshadowed important characteristics or the roles that they would play.

“Hephzibah” is found twice in the Old Testament, 

• The first Hephzibah we meet is the mother of king Manasseh of Judah (2 Kings 21:1).
• The second Hephzibah occurs in the book of Isaiah, where the prophet lists a small group of nicknames for Zion and Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:4).

Pendant and earrings are 1 3/8" wide  and 1" high
