Antique Victorian Sterling Silver MIZPAH Brooch
Mizpah is a Hebrew word that means ‘watchtower’ and is loosely interpreted as ‘May God watch over you.’
In the Book of Genesis, Jacob and Laban are given the wisdom to reconcile their differences, and live peacefully. As a symbol of their trust, they built a tower, a mizpah. Before parting, Laban salutes Jacob: ‘The Lord watch between me and thee, when we are absent, one from another’.
