Bonnet.
Bonnet. [1]
There are two Heb. words thus rendered in the authorized version. (See Crown); (See Head-Dress).
1. פְּאֵר (Peer', literally an Ornament, and so translated in Isaiah 61:10; "beauty" in Isaiah 61:3; "goodly" in Exodus 29:28; "tire" in Ezekiel 24:17; Ezekiel 24:23) was a simple head-dress, tiara, or turban, worn by females ( Isaiah 3:20), priests ( Exodus 29:28; Ezekiel 44:18), a bridegroom ( Isaiah 61:10), or generally in gala dress ( Isaiah 61:3; Ezekiel 24:17; Ezekiel 24:23). It appears to have consisted merely of a piece of cloth tastefully folded about the head. In the case of females it was probably more compact and less bulging than with men. (See Turban).
2. מַגְבָּעוֹת (Migbath', literally Convexities) is spoken only of the sacred cap or turban of the common priests ( Exodus 28:40; Exodus 29:9; Exodus 39:2; Exodus 39:8; Leviticus 8:13), in distinction from the mitre of the highpriest, for which another term is used. (See Priest).
