'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'.
