Isaiah 3:22 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,

The changeable suits of apparel. Here begin entire articles of apparel. Those before were single ornaments.

Changeable - from a root, to put off ( machalaatsowt (H4254), from chaalats (H2502)): not worn commonly; put on and off on special occasions. So dress-clothes (Zechariah 3:4, "change of raiment.")

Mantles - fuller tunics with sleeves, worn over the common one, reaching down to the feet.

Wimples - i:e., mufflers, or hoods. In Ruth 3:15, veils: perhaps here a broad cloak, or shawl, thrown over the head and body.

Crisping pins - chariyTiym (H2754), akin to the Arabic kartah, a purse; rather, money bags attached to the girdle (2 Kings 5:23).
