Wimple
WIMPLE
A veil or hood; but the Hebrew signifies, properly, a broad and large mantle or shawl. See VEIL. Thus, in Rth 3:15, Boaz gives Ruth six measures of barley, which she carries away in her mantle, rather than veil, as in the English translation. So in Isa 3:22 .

Wimple
is the rendering, in the A. V. at Isa 3:22, of the Heb. , mitpachach (from , to spread out; Sept. translates undistinguishably; Vulg. linteamenta), which is translated veil in Luther 3:15, but it signifies rather a kind of shawl or mantle (Schroder, De Vestitu Mulier. Hebr. c. 16). The old English and now obsolete term means a kind of hood or veil in use at the time the translation was made, and was not a bad representative of the original. The word occurs in Spenser:
For she had laid her mournful stole aside,
And widow-like sad wimple thrown away.
But (she) the same did hide
Under a veil that wimpled was full low;
And over all a black stole she did throw,
As one that inly mourned.
