Strengthen your faith in God's word

(Heb. peer), Ex 39:28 (R.V., “head-tires”); Ezek 44:18 (R.V., “tires”), denotes properly a turban worn by priests, and in Isa 3:20 (R.V., “head-tires”) a head-dress or tiara worn by females. The Hebrew word so rendered literally means an ornament, as in Isa 61:10 (R.V., “garland”), and in Ezek 24:17, Ezek 24:23 “tire” (R.V., “head-tire”). It consisted of a piece of cloth twisted about the head. In Ex 28:40; Ex 29:9 it is the translation of a different Hebrew word (migba’ah), which denotes the turban (R.V., “head-tire”) of the common priest as distinguished from the mitre of the high priest. (See Mitre.)
