“And she washed her body, and anointed herself with the best ointment, and plaited the hair of her head, and put a bonnet upon her head, and clothed herself with the garments of her gladness, and put sandals on her feet, and took her bracelets, and lilies, and earlets, and rings, and adorned herself with all her ornaments.”

“Body. Complutensian Greek, “mouth.” But other editions seem more accurate. (Haydock) — Best. Greek, “thick,” probably the myrobalanum of Pliny, [Natural History?] xii. 21., and xiii. 1. — Bonnet, or mitre, tied with ribbands, hanging down behind, like those of bishops. — Sandals, highly ornamented, and worn by people of quality. (Calmet) — Lilies, pendent from the neck. (Grotius)”
