Isaiah 3:20
20 The bonnets, [pa'er] and the
ornaments of the legs, [tsa`adah] and the
headbands, [qishshur] and the tablets [nephesh], [bayith] and the earrings,
[lachash] KJV-Interlinear
20
headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets, NASB
The bonnets are hats or
turban style head accessories worn by both male and female alike, with
different style appropriate to each gender.
Ornaments of the legs, is
more than decorations, as ‘tsa adah,’ refers to a measured step, which herein
infers the measured lifestyle, the intentional lifestyle of evil of the
individual. This is not an accidental lifestyle,
but intentional. And that means a
proactive rejection of God and a proactive pursuit of the evils of the world.
Headbands, is simply put
and straight forward. Headbands are not
of the athletic type, but accessories intended for beauty. Headbands are used to keep things in their
place.
Tablets, ‘nephesh,’ is a
reference typically of the breathing soul, and refers to the breathing or
fragrance of perfumes. ‘Bayith,’ refers
to fragrance boxes.
Earrings, ‘lachash,’
means to whisper or hissing, to conjure, to charm, and comes from the hissing
sounds of serpents. And as they have a
reference to the ears where sounds are heard, then all that the individual
hears is the sounds of the world, or of evil that surrounds them on the
exterior, from head to foot, similar to the accessories that they wear.
This leaves no room for
doctrine as the head is shielded by a hat or veil or turban, blocking out truth
and locking or holding in the lies of life.
