It is often associated with garments of dignity and authority, particularly in religious or royal contexts. The tsaniph was a symbol of status and was worn by priests, kings, and other figures of importance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, head coverings were significant both for practical reasons, such as protection from the sun, and for symbolic reasons, indicating rank or office. The tsaniph, as a specific type of headdress, was part of the ceremonial attire for priests, as described in the Old Testament. It was made of fine linen and was part of the prescribed garments for the high priest, signifying purity and holiness.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
