# the rings that were in their ears
2017-06-21 20:45:09 +00:00
"their earrings." Possible meanings are 1) the gold in the earrings could have been used to make more idols or 2) they took these earrings from the city of [Shechem](rc://en/tw/dict/bible/names/shechem) after they attacked it and killed all the people. The earrings would have reminded them of their sin.
