THE BRAVERY OF THEIR TINKLING ORNAMENTS

3:18-24

The ornaments of Isaiah 3

[18] In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling

• rnaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires

like the moon, [19] The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers, [20] The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings, [21] The rings, and nose jewels, [22] The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins, [23] The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails. [24] And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.

Caul – What is a caul?

• the amniotic membrane enclosing a fetus.
• a woman's close-fitting indoor headdress or hairnet.

Caul

 A caul fits at the back of the head, where it is held

• n by pins or combs. As Elizabethan women almost

always had long hair, they wrapped it into a bun or coil at the back of their head and placed the caul

• ver it; the hair helped to keep the caul in place,

aided with pins and perhaps combs.

Not to be confused with a Snood

 The Elizabethan gentlewoman didn't wear a snood

per se. She did wear something similar, which was called a "caul". A caul was a small bag pinned over the bun and hair at the back of the head What is a snood? Sounds like something from Dr Seuss

round tires like the moon

 "To tire" the head is to adorn it  Same origin as the word tiara  Ezekiel 24:17 [17] Forbear to cry, make no mourning

for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet

 Isaiah 3:18 the word saharonim is rendered "round

tires like the moon,"

Tablets

 [20] The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs,

and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,

 literally houses of breath or smell  thought to have been perfume boxes or smelling

bottles, suspended from their girdles

Mantles, Wimples and Crisping pins

 The other time it is used it is translated as "the vail" in

Ruth 3:15 - "Bring the VAIL that thou hast upon thee, and hold it."

Wimples

 A wimple in the 16th century referred to a

long a cloth which covered the head, neck, and chin. Today some nuns, who wear the traditional dress, still wear wimples.

Stomacher

 "... instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth...“  a V-shaped piece of decorative cloth, worn over

31 And David said to Joab, and to all the people

that were with him, Rend your clothes, and gird you with sackcloth, and mourn before Abner. And king David himself followed the †bier.
