However, the concept of priestly attire can be related to the Greek word "διάδημα" (diadema), meaning "diadem" or "crown," which appears in Revelation 19:12.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "mitsnepheth" refers specifically to the turban or headdress worn by the high priest in ancient Israel. It is a part of the sacred garments described in the Old Testament, signifying holiness and consecration to God. The mitsnepheth was made of fine linen and was an integral part of the high priest's attire, symbolizing purity and the priest's role as a mediator between God and the people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the high priest's garments were designed according to divine instructions given to Moses. The mitsnepheth was part of a larger set of garments that included the ephod, breastplate, robe, tunic, sash, and a gold plate inscribed with "Holy to the LORD" (Exodus 28:36-39). These garments set the high priest apart for his sacred duties in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple. The headdress was not merely a cultural artifact but a symbol of the high priest's unique role in the religious life of Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span
