Let your beauty be not just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on fine clothing;
of plaiting the hair: "Plaiting" (emploke) refers to "interweaving, braiding, a knot" (Thayer 208-1-1708). In 1 Timothy 2:9-10 Paul forbids "broided hair" for women. Broided (plegna) in that passage signifies "what is woven, plaited, or twisted together; a web, plait, braid" (Thayer 515-2-4117). The Authorized Version translates the term "braided hair."
