Hastings
KERCHIEFS (from the Fr. couvrechef, a covering for the head) are mentioned only in Eze 13:18,21, a somewhat obscure passage having reference to certain forms of divination or sorcery, which required the head to be covered. They evidently varied in length with the height of the wearer (Eze 13:18), and perhaps resembled the long veils worn by the female captives from Lachish represented on an Assyrian sculpture, see Dress,
