Isaiah 3:23

Glasses. Heb. gilyonim, from the root galah, “to uncover,” “to reveal.” Whether gilyonim refers to “transparent garments,” as some authorities following the LXX think, or “mirrors,” as others suggest, with the Vulgate, is not certain. Transparent dresses were common in ancient Egypt, and may have been adopted by the women of apostate Judah. Polished metal mirrors were also common in the ancient Orient (see on Ex. 38:8). Since other items in the list refer to articles that were worn, the gilyonim were probably articles of dress or some objects worn as a part of the costume.

Fine linen. Garments of fine linen, at times comparable to the finest silk or the sheerest gauze, were highly prized in the ancient East.

The hoods. Or, “turbans,” which completed the attire, and over which the veil was thrown.
