The Definition of the word Kerchief
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.
