Greetings mommapbs,The reason that women were told to wear coverings on their head was because in the Corinth culture prostitutes had to shave their head. Once they were saved they had to wear coverings on their heads so they would not be advertising that they were prostitutes. because of the angels; various are the senses given of these words, some taking them in a proper, others in a figurative sense: some in a proper sense of angels, and these either good or bad. Tertullian (e) understands them of evil angels, and that a woman should cover her head in time of worship, lest they should lust after her; though much rather the reason should be, lest they should irritate and provoke lust in others: but it is better to understand them of good angels, who attend the assemblies of the saints, and observe the air and behaviour of the worshippers; wherefore women should cover their heads with respect to them, and not give offence to those pure spirits, by an indecent appearance: it is agreeable to the notions of the Jews, that angels attend public prayers, and at the expounding of the word; they often speak (f) of an angel, äîîåðä òì äúôìåú "that is appointed over prayers". (Gills Exposition of the bible) prayon |
