SCRIPTURE

"the pendants, and the bracelets, and the mufflers;" — Isaiah 3:19 (ASV)

The chains. —Better, as in Judges 8:26, where they are also ornaments of Midianite kings, earrings. These and the “bracelets” were probably of gold. The “mufflers” were the long flowing veil, or mantilla, worn so as to cover the head, as now in Spain, or Egypt, or Turkey.
