AT: "When they brought her out" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]]) # her father-in-law "her husband's father" # seal and cords and staff A "seal" is similar to a coin with a design engraved on it, used to make an impression in melted wax. The "cord" was put through the seal so the owner could wear it around his neck. A staff was long wooden stick that helped in walking over rough ground. See how you translated this in [Genesis 38:18](./17.md).
