KERCHIEFS (from the Fr. couvrechef , a covering for the head) are mentioned only in Ezekiel 13:18; Ezekiel 13:21 , 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 ( Ezekiel 13:18 ), and perhaps resembled the long veils worn by the female captives from Lachish represented on an Assyr. [Note: Assyrian.] sculpture, see Dress, § 5 ( b ).
