Shalom. I'm not a English speaker .I am sry if my writing is not correct. I'm also sry if this subject has been already being discuss somewhere else. I have become Messianic ,  observant. I understand that the priest they had to cover they heads in His presence, Lev.10 mention about not to dare to uncover their heads so they wont dye. But i do not understand in 1 Corinth. 11:7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; Can somebody explain how you guys see this pls. ? |

Shalom avodah, I would say that Lev. 10 is referring to Priests being forbidden from shaving their heads or trimming their beards (Lev. 21:5) while 1 Cor. 11:7 refers to men not wearing a head covering (garment) while praying, as women are instructed to wear. Welcome to the board.  |

Can somebody explain how you guys see this pls Shalom, Avodah. I can answer your question in the following response to Zionlion's comment... 1 Cor. 11:7 refers to men not wearing a head covering (garment) while praying, as women are instructed to wear. The eleventh chapter of 1 Corinthians has nothing to do with the wearing of garments, or lack thereof. In the opening of that chapter, Sha'ul is clear that he had previously delivered the "traditions" to the assembly at Corinth [11:2]. Of which traditions, the wearing of kippah would have been included, as he was instructed of Gamaliel [Acts 5:34, 22:3]. As a Jewish Hillel Pharisee, there's no way he would have departed from that commandment, as he walked in all the ordinances of the Jews [Acts 21:20-24], nor would he have taught others to do anything contrary to those ordinances. The assembly in Corinth had many major problems within it. Idolatry was rampant. The text in question is sandwiched between two discourses on Pesach [between the ending of chapter 10, and the ending of chapter 11] so it's highly likely Sha'ul is correcting some type of idolatrous practice during the observance of Pesach [10:14-15]. The Corinthians had probably mixed pagan temple practices with the observance of Pesach, since just prior to this text, Sha'ul is teaching them how to behave concerning idolatrous practices [10:14-33]. At any rate, one thing is absolutely certain, chapter 11 does not deal with the wearing of kippah at all. |
