KERCHIEF. KJV, ASV rendering of מִּסְפָּחֹ֛ות (RSV VEILS) in Ezekiel 13:18, 21, where it alone occurs. It is found in a passage dealing with divination which required the head to be covered. It is not known what kerchiefs looked like or how they were used, but apparently they were veils varying in length with the height of the wearer and were worn by those who consulted the seers.
