Subjects in this Topic:
HEADTIRE, TIRE.—The former is found in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , as one word, only 1Es_3:6, for the kidaris, the stiff upright headdress of the Persian kings. In RV [Note: Revised Version.] headtire supplants AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ’s bonnet (wh. see). ‘The tire of thine head’ of Eze_24:17 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] becomes in RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘thy headtire,’ but ‘tires’ is retained in Eze_24:23. For the ‘round tires like the moon’ of Isa_3:18 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , the crescents of RV [Note: Revised Version.] , see Ornaments, and for the Hebrew headgear generally, see Dress, § 5.
