Jdt 16:10 · Douay-Rheims
“She anointed her face with ointment, and bound up her locks with a crown, she took a new robe to deceive him.”
On this verse:
“Crown. Greek, “mitre,” or ribband, ornamented with jewels, chap. x. 3. Syriac, “net-work.” — New. Greek, “linen stole,” which was a long robe, usually of linen, and worn both by men and women. (Calmet) — Deceived him; as he would make love to her, and thus give her an opportunity to perform what she had designed. (Haydock) — She was not actuated by the desire of being admired, but sought to deliver her people, ver. 9. (Menochius)”
