Kerchief:
mentioned only Eze 13:18, 21, as an article of apparel or ornament applied to the head of the idolatrous women of Israel. The precise meaning of the word is uncertain. It appears to have been a long loose shawl, such as Oriental women wrap themselves in (Rth 3:15; Isa 3:22). Some think that it was a long veil or head-dress, denoting by its form the position of those who wore it.
Kerchief:
ker'-chif (micpachoth; epibolaia): Occurs only in Eze 13:18,21, in a passage which refers to some species of divination. Their exact shape or use is unknown. They were apparently long veils or coverings put over the heads of those consulting the false prophetesses and reaching down to the feet, for they were for "persons of every stature."
Kerchief: Veil; Covering.
Your KERCHIEFS also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and ye shall know that I am the LORD. (Ezekiel 13:21)
