 | Diadem | |
The tiara of a king (Ezek. 21:26; Isaiah 28:5; 62:3); the turban (Job 29:14). In the New Testament a careful distinction is drawn between the diadem as a badge of royalty (Revelation 12:3; 13:1; 19:12) and the crown as a Mark of distinction in private life. It is not known what the ancient Jewish "diadem" was. It was the Mark of Oriental sovereigns. (see CROWN.)
