This kind of crown was a likeness of wreaths of olive branches or laurel leaves, probably hammered out in gold. Examples actually made of leaves were given to victorious athletes to wear on their heads. This can be translated with an active verb. Alternate translation: "he received a crown" or "God gave him a crown (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
