| Ezekiel 16:7
| I caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field: and thou didst increase and grow great, and advancedst, and camest to woman's ornament: thy breasts were fashioned, and thy hair grew: and thou wast naked, and full of confusion.
| Woman's. Hebrew, "the ornament of ornaments;" hadaiim instead of harim in Septuagint, "the cities of cities," (Calmet) or the highest glory, being arrived at that age when decorations are most sought after. --- Fashioned. Literally, "swelling." Septuagint, "erect." (Haydock) --- Hair, (pilus.) Women are allowed by the canon law to marry at twelve. (Calmet)
