Strong's Lexicon tsaniph: Turban, headdress Original Word: צָנִיף Word Origin: From the root צָנַף (tsanaph), meaning "to wrap" or "to wind." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsaniph," the concept of a head covering or turban can be related to the Greek word "κάλυμμα" (kalumma), meaning "covering" or "veil." Usage: The term "tsaniph" refers to a type of head covering or turban worn in ancient Israel. It is often associated with garments of dignity and authority, particularly in religious or royal contexts. The tsaniph was a symbol of status and was worn by priests, kings, and other figures of importance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, head coverings were significant both for practical reasons, such as protection from the sun, and for symbolic reasons, indicating rank or office. The tsaniph, as a specific type of headdress, was part of the ceremonial attire for priests, as described in the Old Testament. It was made of fine linen and was part of the prescribed garments for the high priest, signifying purity and holiness.
