A Nazarene Jewish Perspective on Head Coverings and Reverence<\/strong>
By James Scott Trimm<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the more misunderstood topics in the modern Messianic and Nazarene movements is whether a man should wear a head covering\u2014specifically a kippah<\/em>\u2014during worship, study, or throughout the day. Some appeal to Paul’s statement in 1 Corinthians 11:7 as a prohibition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cFor a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of Elohim…\u201d<\/em>
(1 Corinthians 11:7)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But is Paul actually condemning the wearing of a kippah<\/em> here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The answer is no<\/strong>, and a closer study of the cultural, linguistic, and scriptural context makes this abundantly clear. What Paul is referring to in this passage is not<\/strong> the Jewish kippah<\/em> (or yarmulke<\/em>), but something entirely different\u2014a woman’s veil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What Does the Text Really Say?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the Aramaic<\/strong>, the word used in this verse is K\u2019SA<\/strong>, meaning “to veil” or “to hide.” This is not a reference to a small symbolic head covering like a kippah<\/em>, but rather to a veil<\/strong> that conceals<\/strong> the head, which was a common practice among women in Greek and Roman culture, and even among some pagan male priests. What Paul was opposing was the practice of effeminate men wearing veils<\/strong> as part of a broader concern about immorality and gender confusion in Corinth. This is made clear when we examine 1 Corinthians 6:9, where Paul warns against effeminacy and sexual perversion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cDo you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of Elohim? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals…\u201d<\/em>
(1 Corinthians 6:9 HRV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So Paul’s warning about head coverings must be understood in that cultural and moral context\u2014it was not a general ruling against the Jewish custom of men wearing symbolic head coverings out of reverence for God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Torah and Head Coverings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Far from forbidding male head coverings, the Torah actually commands them<\/strong> for the sons of Aharon\u2014the kohanim:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAnd these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a tunic of checker work, a mitre<\/strong>, and a girdle…\u201d<\/em>
(Exodus 28:4)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAnd for Aharon\u2019s sons, you shall make tunics, and you shall make for them girdles, and headtires<\/strong> shall you make for them, for splendour and for beauty.\u201d<\/em>
(Exodus 28:40)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The priestly head covering was part of proper worship attire. Paul, who claimed to be a strict observer of Torah (Acts 22:3; 25:8; 28:17), would not have spoken against something the Torah itself prescribed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Nazarene Historical Sources<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The ancient Nazarene writer Hegesippus<\/strong> (c. 180 CE) gave us an important clue when describing the rise of apostasy in the post-apostolic era. He noted that the apostate teachers rose up with bare heads<\/strong>, in contrast to the earlier faithful tradition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cBut… the confederacy of godless error took its rise through the treachery of false teachers… who, seeing that none of the emissaries any longer survived, at length attempted with bare and uplifted head<\/strong> to oppose the preaching of the truth by preaching \u2018knowledge falsely so called.\u2019\u201d<\/em>
\u2014Ecclesiastical History<\/em> 3:32<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This suggests that the normative practice among the early Nazarenes was for men to cover their heads<\/strong>, and it was the apostate faction<\/strong> that abandoned this custom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, in the Shem Tob Hebrew Gospel of Matthew<\/strong>, Satan tempts Yeshua not to bow, but to bare his head<\/strong> as a sign of submission:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAll these things I will give you, if you bare your head<\/strong> to me.\u201d<\/em>
\u2014Matthew 4:9, Shem Tob Hebrew Text<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This shows that uncovering the head<\/strong> was a symbolic act of spiritual submission\u2014in this case, to HaSatan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Kippah as a Sign of Reverence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the Torah does not require<\/strong> a man to wear a kippah<\/em>, it also does not forbid it. In fact, Jewish tradition has long held that wearing a kippah<\/em> is a symbol of humility and reverence before God<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Talmud records:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cRabbi Huna son of Rabbi Joshua would not walk four cubits bareheaded, saying: \u2018The Shechinah is above my head.\u2019\u201d<\/em>
\u2014b.Kiddushin 31a<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cRabbi Nahman ben Isaac\u2019s mother said to him, \u2018Cover your head so that the fear of heaven may be upon you.\u2019\u201d<\/em>
\u2014b.Shabbat 156b<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The idea was simple but profound: covering one\u2019s head reminds a man that he is always under the presence of the Divine. It is a sign not of legalistic ritualism, but of spiritual mindfulness<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Let Each Man Be Fully Persuaded<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In light of all this, it becomes clear that Paul was not condemning the wearing of a kippah<\/em><\/strong>. He was speaking against a specific Greco-Roman practice involving veils, immorality, and gender confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who wear a kippah<\/em> today out of reverence<\/strong> and humility<\/strong> are acting well within both Torah and early Nazarene tradition. As Glenn Weaver rightly wrote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cA head covering which is worn out of reverence for God, not out of bondage to the Law or custom, should be accepted, and those who feel led by Him to wear one should be encouraged, not condemned.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In the end, let each man be led by his own heart. For those of us who seek to walk in the ancient paths of the Nazarenes and the Torah of our forefathers, the kippah<\/em> remains a beautiful sign of reverence<\/strong>, not a burden of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
