Scripture of the day:
Ezekiel 24:17
"Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy lips, and eat not the bread of men."I learned something new today. I am very tired so I looked that up in the scriptures and came across this one. You can imagine the first imagine I conjured up was someone with a car tire on their head. Did I mention I am tired which makes me have strange thoughts. But I decided to look it up. Tire is also an Old English word for headdress.
The picture I found was this:
Whenever we see pictures of women in the middle east they are usually wearing headdresses such as these - even today. So when they are instructed to bind up the tire of thine head you can imagine them securing their cloth headdress about their head.
So there is my new meaning of a word I thought I already knew.
