In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah a crown is a gold rim on a holy object or a priest's headdress, such as the ark, the table or the high priest's mitre. In the Prophets and Writings it is also the royal crown of a king, a sign of honour and glory, and "to crown" can mean to honour or bless, as God crowns the year with goodness.

In Sefer Yetzirah, "crowned" letters are given rule over parts of the world. Tradition reads losing a crown, as Job says, as losing honour and standing.
