International Standard Bible Encyclopedia: Crisping, Pins


Subjects in this Topic:

kris´ping: Pins for crisping, or curling, the hair. Thus the King James Version renders Hebrew חריטים, ḥărı̄ṭı̄m (; compare Vulgate). the Revised Version (British and American) substitutes more correctly “satchels” (so Ḳimḥi (compare ); compare Arabic). Others think of girdles; still others of veils or head-bands.
