BONNET . With the exception of Isaiah 3:20 , this is the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] designation of the special headdress of the rank and file of the priesthood according to the priestly writer ( Exodus 28:40; Exodus 29:9 etc., RV [Note: Revised Version.] head-tire ). It consisted of a long swathe of fine white linen wound round the head note Exodus 29:9 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘bind ( or wind) head-tires’ to form an egg-shaped turban. Cf. Jos. [Note: Josephus.] Ant . III. vii. 3; and Rich, Dict. Rom. and Gr. Ant. s.v. ‘pileus’ for illust. of the egg-shaped cap of Ulysses, with which Jerome compares the priestly turban. See Dress, 5, Mitre.
