Easton's Bible Dictionary
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. 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").
Ezek. 16:10 and
Jonah 2:5 are to be understood of the turban wrapped round the head. 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" (Hebrews keren) mentioned in
1 Samuel 2:1 is the head-dress called by the Druses of Mount Lebanon the tantura.
