אָרִיס

אָרִיסI m. (ארס) something tied to the body (περίαμμα), whence an emblem set in a ring or chain (cmp. Deut. 6:8; Prov. 6:21, also Sm. Ant. s. v. Amuletum). Pl. אֲרִיסִין. Deut. R. s. 3 הכניסה לו שנים א׳ (read שני) brought into his house two emblems (of faith); the king, too, זקף לה כנגדן שני א׳ had two corresponding emblems set for her. Ib. Abraham delivered to his children שני א׳ two emblems (which they should guard, Gen. 18:19).
