Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 3:18

Theological / Devotional

The bravery. Literally, “the beauty.”

Tinkling ornaments. Heb. ‘akasim, literally, “anklets,” from the root ‘akas, “to shake bangles,” “to tinkle.” ‘Akas is translated “tinkling” in v. 16.

Cauls. Heb. shebisim, perhaps “hair nets,” or “headbands” of gold or silver worn over the head, from ear to ear.

Round tires like the moon. Heb. saharonim, literally, “little moons,” probably crescent-shaped pendants worn as necklaces. In the ancient Orient many types of neck ornaments were in use, made of gold or silver, or of precious stones.
