Dict: easton - Head-dress

easton:

Head-dress @ Not in common use among the Hebrews. It is first mentioned in kjv@Exodus:28:40 (A.V., "bonnets;" R.V., "head-tires"). It was used especially for purposes of ornament kjv@Job:29:14; kjv@Isaiah:3:23 kjv@Isaiah:62:3). The Hebrew word here used, tsaniph, properly means a turban, folds of linen wound round the head. The Hebrew word peer, used in kjv@Isaiah:61:3, there rendered "beauty" (A.V.) and "garland" (R.V.), is a head-dress or turban worn by females kjv@Isaiah:3:20, "bonnets"), priests kjv@Exodus:39:28), a bridegroom kjv@Isaiah:61:10, "ornament;" R.V., "garland"). kjv@Ezekiel:16:10 and kjv@Jonah:2:5 are to be understood of the turban wrapped round the head. The Hebrew shebisim kjv@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 kjv@1Samuel:2:1 is the head-dress called by the Druses of Mount Lebanon the tantura.
