4	their men prayed with their heads covered,

1 Corinthians 11:10 (King James Version)
For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

power: That is, a covering in sign that she is under the power of her husband. [Exousia ,] appears here to be used for the sign or token of being under power or authority, that is, a veil, as Theophylact, (Ecumenius, and Photius) explain; and so one MS. of the Vulgate, the Sixtine edition, and some copies of the Itala, have {velamen.}; Genesis 20:16 ; Genesis 24:64 Genesis 24:65
because: Ecclesiastes 5:6 ; Matthew 18:10 ; Hebrews 1:14
