The head was usually uncovered. In Lev 10:6 the sense of “uncover (literally, “let loose”) not your heads” is “let not your hair fall loosely from your head” as in mourning. When needful the head was covered with the mantle; the radid and tsaiph were so used, the veil also. In Job 29:14, “my judgment (justice) was as … a diadem,” translated “a turban,” or head-dress of linen rolled around (tsaniph). It and the flowing outer “robe” characterize an oriental grandee or high priest (Zec 3:5). The tsaniyph) was worn also by an adorned lady (Isa 3:23, “hoods” or mitres), also by kings, Isa 62:3. The pe-eer was a holiday ornamental head-dress; (Isa 61:3) “beauty for ashes” (a play on similar sounds, pe-eer epher), to give them the ornamental headdress worn on joyous occasions (Eze 24:17) for the ashes cast on the head in mourning (2Sa 13:19).<\/p>\n
The high priest’s “mitre” was a twisted band of linen coiled into a cap, like a turban, with a plate or crown of gold in front,. Instead of this the ordinary priests wore “bonnets” (rather caps) “for glory and for beauty.” In Isa 61:10, “as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments” (pe-eer), translated” with the priests’ ornamental head-dress,” appropriate to the “kingdom of priests,” consecrated to offer spiritual sacrifices to God continually (Exo 19:6; Rev 5:10; Rev 20:6). The pe-eer refers especially to the jewels and ornaments with which the turban is decorated. In Eze 16:10 “I girded thee about with fine linen” may refer to the turban. In Eze 23:15 “exceeding in dyed attire,” translated “redundant in dyed turbans,” i.e. with ample dyed turbans; the Assyrians delighted in ample richly dyed headdresses anti robes. In Dan 3:21 for” hats” translated “outer mantles.”<\/p>\n
