kerchief
n
:
a
square
scarf
that
is
folded
into
a
triangle
and
worn
over
the
head
or
about
the
neck
From:
Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Kerchief
mentioned
only
Ezek
. 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;
Isa
. 3:22).
Some
think
that
it
was
a
long
veil
or
head-dress
,
denoting
by
its
form
the
position
of
those
who
wore
it
.
