# even if you ... were the signet on my right hand Yahweh speaks to Jehoiachin as if it were possible for him to be the ring on Yahweh's hand. # the signet on my right hand "the signet ring on my right hand that represented my authority to be king". A signet ring was used by a king to place his seal of authority on documents. It represents authority to rule. # I would tear you off "I would tear you off from my hand" or "I would quickly pull you off of my hand"
