From: Manners and Customs of the Bible By: James M. Freeman

Listen to This Article

Isaiah 61:10¹⁰I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. (Isaiah 61:10). As a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

At Oriental weddings both bride and bridegroom are adorned with a profusion of jewelry of every kind. If too poor to purchase they borrow from neighbors and friends, that a splendid show may be made. See also Revelation 21:2²And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (Revelation 21:2).
