History of Mizpah
History of Mizpah
Mentioned in the Bible, Mizpah is a Hebrew word that has come to connote an emotional bond between two people.
Mizpah jewelry generally was exchanged between two people who were lovers or close friends and might be separated from each other for some amount of time, Rinker said.
Some of the pieces are engraved with the phrase, “The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another,” which immediately follows the mention of Mizpah in the book of Genesis.
