Purchase Mizpah Sterling Silver Necklace

'MIZPAH - THE LORD WATCH BETWEEN ME AND THEE WHEN WE ARE ABSENT ONE FROM ANOTHER' has been cast onto the front and the Hebrew word for Mizpah and '31:49 GENESIS' has been cast onto the back.

MIZPAH is mentioned for the first time in the Bible in Gen 31, when Jacob and Laban at Gilead swore a covenant as witness before a cairn of stones saying, "The Lord watch between me and thee when we are absent one from another". Mizpah of Gilead became the "blueprint" for more places called MIZPAH in the Scriptures. Mizpah jewelry was popular with the Victorians in the nineteenth century, often taking the form of a heart broken in twain, to be shared between two friends or lovers who are temporarily parted.

Today, Mizaph takes on many meanings - but, in Hebrew, literally means watch-tower. As such, it has adopted a more general meaning, 'may God watch over you'. This contemporary interpretation is elegantly engraved, carrying this generous sentiment into the 21st century.

Give this special blessing to say, 'I am thinking of you', 'Forgive me', 'All will turn out well', 'Never give up', 'Stay strong in Hope', 'God's Speed', and 'I love you and miss you'.

.925 Sterling Silver pendant 1 5/8" long by 3/8" wide. Hanging on an 18" sterling silver chain.
