1 Corinthians 11:10
_ _ power on her head — the kerchief: French couvre chef, head-covering, the emblem of “power on her head”; the sign of her being under man’s power, and exercising delegated authority under him. Paul had before his mind the root-connection between the Hebrew terms for “veil” (radid), and “subjection” (radad).
_ _ because of the angels — who are present at our Christian assemblies (compare Psalms 138:1, “gods,” that is, angels), and delight in the orderly subordination of the several ranks of God’s worshippers in their respective places, the outward demeanor and dress of the latter being indicative of that inward humility which angels know to be most pleasing to their common Lord (1 Corinthians 4:9; Ephesians 3:10; Ecclesiastes 5:6). Hammond quotes Chrysostom, “Thou standest with angels; thou singest with them; thou hymnest with them; and yet dost thou stand laughing?” Bengel explains, “As the angels are in relation to God, so the woman is in relation to man. God’s face is uncovered; angels in His presence are veiled (Isaiah 6:2). Man’s face is uncovered; woman in His presence is to be veiled. For her not to be so, would, by its indecorousness, offend the angels (Matthew 18:10, Matthew 18:31). She, by her weakness, especially needs their ministry; she ought, therefore, to be the more careful not to offend them.” |
1 Corinthians 11:10
For this cause also a woman ought to be veiled in the public assemblies, because of the angels — Who attend there, and before whom they should be careful not to do anything indecent or irregular. |
1 Corinthians 11:10
(9) For this cause ought the woman to have (c) power on [her] head because of the (10) angels.
(9) The conclusion: women must be covered, to show by this external sign their subjection.
(c) A covering which is a token of subjection.
(10) What this means, I do not yet understand. |
- power:
- That is, a covering in sign that she is under the power of her husband. Εξουσια [Strong's G1849], appears here to be used for the sign or token of being under power or authority, that is, a veil, as Theophylact (Ecumenius, and Photius) explain; and so one manuscript of the Vulgate, the Sixtine edition, and some copies of the Itala, have velamen.
Genesis 20:16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand [pieces] of silver: behold, he [is] to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that [are] with thee, and with all [other]: thus she was reproved.
Genesis 24:64-65 And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. ... For she [had] said unto the servant, What man [is] this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, It [is] my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself.
|
- because:
Ecclesiastes 5:6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it [was] an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?
Matthew 18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
