Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 22. - The changeable suite of apparel; rather, the festival robes (Revised Version), or the full-dress suits; i.e. those worn upon grand occasions, and then put off and set aside. The mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping-pins; rather, the upper petticoats, the wraps, and the purses. An inner and an outer tunic or petticoat were commonly worn by females of the higher class in the East. The inner tunic was a simple linen vest; but the outer was generally of a better material, and richly ornamented. Outside this, a sort of wrap, or cloak, was worn occasionally (see Ruth 3:15). Purses were, no doubt, carried by wealthy persons of both sexes; but their mention in this list does not seem very appropriate. Perhaps toilet-bags of some kind or other are intended (see 2 Kings 5:23).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(22) The changeable suits of apparel.--Better, state, or festal, dresses. The word is used in Zechariah 3:4, of the high priest's garments, "gold and blue, and purple, and fine linen" (Exodus 28:6).The mantles.--Better, tunics. The uppermost of the two garments, commonly richly embroidered.Wimples.--The obsolete English word describes accurately enough the large shawl, like a Scotch plaid, worn over the tunic, as in the "vail" worn by Ruth (Ruth 4:15).The crisping pins.--Better, purses (2Kings 5:23), the small embroidered bags, or reticules, attached to the girdles. The girdle itself was used as a purse by men. This was a refinement of female luxury. . . .
