Isaiah 3:19 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,

Chains - Hebrew, hanªTiypowt (H5188), from naatap (H5197), to drop: pendants hanging about the neck and dropping on the breast. Or else pendant scent-bottles, containing drops of perfume: so the Hebrew commentators.

Mufflers - veils covering the face, with apertures for the eyes, close above and loosely-flowing below. Hebrew, haarª`aalowt (H7479), from raa`al (H7477), to tremble. The word radically means tremulous, referring to the changing effect of the spangles on the veil.
