     The following is the results of your search for head-dress.


Head-dress: 1. Not in common use among the Hebrews. It is first mentioned in

(Exodus 28:40) (A.V., "bonnets;" R.V., "head-tires"). It was used especially for purposes of ornament (Job 29:14; Isaiah 3:23; 62:3) The Hebrew word here used, tsaniph, properly means a turban, folds of linen wound round the head. 2. The Hebrew word peer, used in (Isaiah 61:3) there rendered "beauty" (A.V.) and "garland" (R.V.), is a head-dress or turban worn by females (Isaiah 3:20) "bonnets"), priests (Exodus 39:28) a bridegroom

(Isaiah 61:10) "ornament;" R.V., "garland"). (Ezekiel 16:10; Jonah 2:5) are to be understood of the turban wrapped round the head. 3. The Hebrew shebisim (Isaiah 3:18) in the Authorized Version rendered "cauls," and marg. "networks," denotes probably a kind of netted head-dress. The "horn" (Heb. keren) mentioned in (1 Samuel 2:1) is the head-dress called by the Druses of Mount Lebanon the tantura.
