hair covering

⁵But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraces her head. For it is the same as if her head were shaven. ⁶So if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off. Truly then, if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to have her head shaven, then she should cover her head.

¹⁸And while the woman stands before the Lord, he shall uncover her head, and he shall place over her hands the sacrifice of recollection and oblation of jealousy. But he shall take hold of the most bitter waters, in which he has gathered curses with loathing.

¹⁵Yet truly, if a woman grows her hair long, it is a glory for her, because her hair has been given to her as a covering.

⁶⁵And she said to the servant, “Who is that man who advances to meet us through the field?” And he said to her, “That is my lord.” And so, quickly taking up her cloak, she covered herself.

⁵A woman shall not be clothed with manly apparel, nor shall a man make use of feminine apparel. For whoever does these things is abominable with God.

⁹Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire,

³For you, there should be no unnecessary adornment of the hair, or surrounding with gold, or the wearing of ornate clothing.

¹³Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God unveiled? ¹⁴Does not even nature herself teach you that, indeed, if a man grows his hair long, it is a disgrace for him? ¹⁵Yet truly, if a woman grows her hair long, it is a glory for her, because her hair has been given to her as a covering. ¹⁶But if anyone has a mind to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor does the Church of God.

¹Groom to Bride: How beautiful you are, my love, how beautiful you are! Your eyes are those of a dove, except for what is hidden within. Your hair is like flocks of goats, which ascend along the mountain of Gilead.

¹⁰Therefore, a woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the Angels.

¹Be imitators of me, as I also am of Christ. ²Now I praise you, brothers, because you are mindful of me in everything, in such a way as to hold to my precepts as I have handed them down to you. ³So I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ. But the head of woman is man. Yet truly, the head of Christ is God. ⁴Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered disgraces his head. ⁵But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered disgraces her head. For it is the same as if her head were shaven. ⁶So if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off. Truly then, if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to have her head shaven, then she should cover her head.

²Take a millstone and grind meal. Uncover your shame, bare your shoulder, reveal your legs, cross the streams.

⁶So if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off. Truly then, if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off, or to have her head shaven, then she should cover her head.

¹³Judge for yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God unveiled?

⁸Therefore, I want men to pray in every place, lifting up pure hands, without anger or dissension. ⁹Similarly also, women should be dressed fittingly, adorning themselves with compunction and restraint, and not with plaited hair, nor gold, nor pearls, nor costly attire, ¹⁰but in a manner proper for women who are professing piety by means of good works. ¹¹Let a woman learn in silence with all subjection. ¹²For I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to be in authority over a man, but to be in silence. ¹³For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
