Kerchief: Mentioned only
(Ezekiel 13:18,21) as an article of apparel or ornament
applied to the head of the idolatrous women of Israel. The precise
meaning of the word is uncertain. It appears to have been a long
loose shawl, such as Oriental women wrap themselves in
(Ruth 3:15)
(Isaiah 3:22) Some think that it was a long veil or head-dress, denoting
by its form the position of those who wore it.
