1 P. 3:3• 3El adorno de las cuales no sea exterior con encrespamiento del cabello, y atavío de oro, ni en compostura de ropas; (1 P. 3:3)
silk.{Shesh,} rather fine linen, or cotton.
(See on Ex 39:27.) {Sadin,} rendered "fine linen," ver. 24, is probably the same as the Arabic {sidn,} and {sudl,} a veil, or an inner covering of fine muslin.
• (Mem) The authorized version reads “silk” in describing the clothing of verse 22, but it is now well-known that not until the reign of Justinian was silk brought to the Levant from China. Fine, white linen, glistening like silk, such as the bride is arrayed with in Revelation 19, is what is undoubtedly intended as elsewhere in Scripture purple and fine linen are used together as the attire of the well-clothed. See Luke 16:19. (“Proverbs Thirty-One” by H.A. Ironside)
• The purple was obtained from “the juice of a certain species of shell-fish found on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The juice of the entire fish was not used, but only a little of its liquor, called the flower, contained in a white vein, or vessel, in the neck.” Typically, the fine linen and purple picture, as in the tabernacle hangings, practical righteousness and royal glory. In the rich man referred to above, we see how one could be outwardly covered with what spoke of uprightness and privilege, while actually “poor, and wretched, and blind, and miserable, and naked.” The virtuous wife is robed in what bespeaks her true character and dignity. (“Proverbs Thirty-One” by H.A. Ironside)
