The text you are describing is Numbs 5. We dont know alot about headcovering prior to 1BC, but looking at 1BC-onwards we see that head-coverings where understood within judaism not to be a sign of subjection of women, or submission, instead they…

Jeff replied to Tammy Russell's discussion 'Women's Head Covering'

as far as I know, covering of the hair literally was at that time more of a cultural sign of submission to her husband more so than a requirement of God. IM not sure of the exact refrence but in the torah one of the commands in regards to adultrey…

Deanna Joy replied to Tammy Russell's discussion 'Women's Head Covering'

Since a child I always felt a desire to cover my head . . I think it came from seeing nuns who wore coverings and as a young child I knew it meant they were devoted to Yeshua in a very serious way. Well I am not catholic so no head gear as such but…

I think you are missing a little bit of the point of what Paul is trying to do. As far as i can see it within early judaism head-covering was seen as a requirement upon women found in Num 5. The origins of this where then traced to the fall. Women…

Oops, I meant verse 3.

Denise replied to Tammy Russell's discussion 'Women's Head Covering'

Maybe the key here is to go back to verse 2, and to reread the rest of the passage in that context, without thought to hair or literal "head coverings".

Tammy comments on b.Kesuvois 72a and 'the priest shall stand before God and uncover her hair'. Lets roll this back to the Torah. The Hebrew used in Num 5.18 reads 'para' 'ishshah ro'sh. Para means unbind or make bare,…

Tammy Russell replied to Tammy Russell's discussion 'Women's Head Covering'

In ancient Biblical times there is no indication that women covered their hair except with head-gears for ornament. The Shulammite's long flowing locks are an object of admiration in the Song of Songs (iv. 1; vi. 5; vii. 5; compare Ezek. xvi.…

Tammy Russell replied to Tammy Russell's discussion 'Women's Head Covering'

Covering the Head as a Spiritual Statement In Jewish tradition, and even in very old linguistic usage, "an uncovered head" means unbridled license. By the same token, covering the head, be it for prayer and study or at any other time,…

Tammy Russell replied to Tammy Russell's discussion 'Women's Head Covering'

The Talmud in Kesuvos 72a states that the source for this prohibition is from BaMidbar (Numbers) 5:18 which deals with the laws of a sotah - a suspected adulteress - and states, "The priest shall stand the woman before God and uncover her…

Women's Head Covering

Jennifer and I have been discussing the issue of women wearing a head covering vs long hair being the head covering in I Cor. 11:2-16.2 Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of the woman is the man, and the headof Christ is God.4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head,5 but every woman who prays or…See More

Tammy Russell replied to David's discussion 'UIWU MEETING!'

I have come to look forward to the annual UIWU meetings. It is almost in a sense equated to a family reunion for me. Only loaded with much information and a great learning experience. People coming from all over even as far away as Israel. Old…

I've spent 3 great days in the Flathead Valley in Western Montana. Rested & recharged for more overnights on the Discovery Pass. Next stop is Eugene, OR for a few days. I hope all is well with all of you & yours.

I've not had much time to post here, study the comments yet all those I met in April are in my heart with me as I travel. Seeing the Synagogue Without Walls thanks to David Cole was a treasure - I'm glad it's being restored! Shalom for all...
