Isaiah 3:22 — KJV

Commentary

Commentary on Isaiah 3:22

Theological / Devotional

Changeable suits of apparel. More accurately, “formal dresses,” “festal robes,” “state dresses.” Compare Zech. 3:4, “change of raiment.” The garments referred to were used only on state occasions, and were removed before the wearer resumed the activities of ordinary life.

Mantles. Or, “tunics,” or “overtunics.”

Wimples. Heb. mitpachoth, a large “shawl” worn as a “cloak” over the tunic. See Ruth 3:15, where mitpachoth is employed for the veil worn by Ruth. The recently discovered Dead Sea scroll 1QIs (see Vol. I, p. 31; Vol. IV, pp. 86—88) omits “and the wimples.”

Crisping pins. Heb. charitim, probably “purses,” or “handbags” (see 2 Kings 5:23).
