kata kephales in verse 4: Septuagint evidence from Esther 6:12 confirms cloth covering

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 02:22:57 – 02:25:32

Mike examines another Greek phrase supporting cloth coverings.

Verse 4: 'every man who has something on his head' uses kata kephales. In Esther 6:12 (LXX), the same phrase describes Haman going home with 'his head covered' after receiving bad news -- clearly pulling cloth over his head in shame, not changing his hairstyle. Preston Massie: 'neither is the expression kata kephales ever used in ancient Greek to describe hair coming down.'
